Synopsis
Kenji is eight years old when his parents are murdered right before his eyes. We find him twelve years later, still fleeing oppression and misery along with a group of ten other people. They are on their way to Melilla, the Spanish enclave in Northern Morocco. Multiple trajectories, shattered destinies, but always driven by the same hope, no matter the cost, to break through the barbed wire of Europe and to find freedom.

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.
