Synopsis
Petrus, an old poet, lives in a "poetry shop" he closed a long time ago due to a lack of customers. Reclusive, he is fixed to his typewriter in a dark and filthy room. But bitterness and hatred have paralised his inspiration.

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.
