Synopsis
Women's faces extracted from American series decompose little by little. The video brings to light the mechanisms which bring to tears, theatrical tears, tears in box or, to quote a poet from Ancient Rome, lacrimae rerum, tears were poured in public. The music - Ne me quitte pas - interpreted by Nina Simone, is used as a highlighter of pathos.

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.
