Synopsis
The film charts the life and spiritual odyssey of one of the great modern painters purely through use of his paintings. Vincent Van Gogh’s genius and significance are recognised today, but in his own time he had to struggle terribly, in poverty and to almost universal indifference, in his attempts to render his glimpses of the absolute through his paintings.

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.
