Synopsis

As part of the Year of Algeria celebrations, filmmakers look for North African actors. The casting choice includes a number of actors fresh out of Parisian drama schools. Their profession has already taught them to focus on their body types and own cultures, although as individuals, each has his own story. A very French subject!

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.
