Synopsis
At Small Castle, asylum seekers from around the world keep themselves busy while waiting to know if their demand will be accepted. But the name of the place invites to a tale, with its acrid humor, little by little, the castle becomes populated by a princess who spits snakes, a generous king, ghosts haunting corridors.

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.
