Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Solène is going crazy spending her summer vacation in a deadly dull, small regional burg sweltering in the sun. When Antoine arrives on the scene, revving his motorcycle and flexing his forty-year-old muscles inside his leather jacket, it's only natural that Solène takes action.

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.
