Summary catalog

Above the roofs, Ferdinand Zecca (director and actor) sitting on a strange flying machine named the "Air rending" flies over the highs of Belleville as a balloonist. The machine equipped with a rudder, a wheel and pedals is like a pocket submarine. Zecca, satisfied by his performance salutes his public several times until he let go of his cap.
