In the Name of the Tractors
Synopsis
The coast of La Manche, at high tide, a summer morning. When the sea withdraws, letting appear the vast area of oysterbeds, the tractors arrive, invade the beach, cross the park, drive the oyster farmers to their work, crossing fishermen or walkers. We follow the tracks of tractors until, at nightfall, the sea akes back its place.

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.
