To the Rising Moon
Synopsis
Is a woman less of a woman if she hasn't had children? Is she less of a person if no one desires her? Martha is strong, lively, sensual, determined. Right from a young age, she has only dreamed of one thing: to become a mother. Fate has refused her the privilege. Martha doesn't give in. She wages battle against her own body, but this desire for a child eats her up and ends up destroying the desire that her lover feels for her.

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.
