Synopsis
1862. A high altitude inn at the foot of a glacier in the Swiss Alps. Each winter the snow isolates the inn, rendering it totally inaccessible. This year, Gaspard, who has been coming from ages, is with a young novice, Ulrich. When he arrives, Ulrich meets Lise, the innkeepers daughter, and feels terribly attracted by her. When he decides to join her, he is too late: the snow fallen in abundance forbids the access to the valley. Ulrich is overcome. The next day, Gaspard, gone hunting, does not come back. The young man, haunted by his fears and his fantasies, will he survive?

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.
