“I had tears in my eyes,” says Dorine Bourneton, referring to her first viewing of the TV movie.

According to her, Jérôme Cornuau the director and Alice Taglioni, who play his role, have perfectly captured the emotions that have inhabited her during this ordeal.

The memories of the tragedy will always remain vague: what is certain is that the plane crash cost the lives of three people and that in the hospital, she can no longer move her feet.

"Alice Taglioni was able to bring out the emotions in a sublime way. When I see that on the screen it makes me relive my own story", affirms the pilot.

If she recognizes that certain passages are sometimes romanticized, the objective of "summarizing 30 years of a life in 90 minutes" and to ensure "that the viewer can put himself in my place" are well fulfilled.
