The Faux Pas
Synopsis
In a restaurant with chic pretensions, there's no room for slip-ups. The cooking must be creative and refined, the staff elegant and discreet. At The Dove House, the chef doesn't take things lightly. In a world codified to an absurd degree, the arrival of an unusual client sends everyone spinning. Just who should dine at these fine restaurants? And just how far should one go to save one's reputation?

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.
