L'Assurance est un plat qui se mange froid
Synopsis
One rainy night, David goes into an art gallery in a small, provincial town. He’s come to meet the gallery owner, Paul. In fact, the gallery is just a front. Paul is a forger, and his accomplice Florence touts for unscrupulous clients looking to make money on bogus insurance claims… David offers Paul a deal, but this time things will turn out in a way that Paul could never have imagined.

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.
