Voglia di volare ("Desire to Fly") is an Italian miniseries starring Gianni Morandi and Claude Jade.
The pilot Davide has left his wife Barbara. Their daughter, Adreina, stays with Davide. Davide's father, a stubborn farmer suffering from dementia, had never accepted his German daughter-in-law, Barbara. Adreina would like to get rid of Davide's new partner, Valerie, a model, and would like for her parents to get back together. Barbara, meanwhile, pairs up with Steve Carrington, a brutal US-General, with whom Adreina also doesn't get along. Adreina spreads rumors that Davide and Barbara are getting back together, causing Valerie to leave. Adreina, spurned by a love interest, attempts suicide. Barbara leaves Steve because he beat her, and Davide takes her in. They reconcile and decide to start over, slowly.
