Synopsis

Paul was my neighbour during fifteen years. He is a comedian. He is eighty-three years old today. I recorded him telling me his life, then I adjusted recordings of real sounds and images livened up to go towards a portrait close to the fact that is for me this man. In this portrait get mixed the stories of past and of the present, the dramatic and the anecdote, told if possible with lightness and mockery.

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.
