Synopsis
It's Martin's fourteenth birthday. Whether they like it or not, his parents leave him the house, watched over by his older brother Olivier, so he can throw a party. The party condenses the rites of passage from childhood to adolescence: a bunch of cheeky friends, girls who are already more wild or fearful, alcohol and the experience of its first effects, a latent conflict with the older brother, who is both adored and envied.

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.
