Synopsis
No words, just landscapes, music and sounds. The erotically strange birth and death of bees. The faces of man which are overpowering with their solitude and serenity. Travelling from one to the other, a man looks at them. He becomes their double. At the end of the journey, the man is definitively alone, isolated in an organised, working, cruel society which ressembles the world of the bees the film shows us.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
