Courant d'air
Synopsis
The room seems to be in continuous movement because of a strong draft which invades it through the wide open windows. The house is populated with characters from childhood, the happy childhood in a hot and sunny country. The real memories alternate with invented memories. As in childhood, things are not said but felt - an unexpressed concern, an enjoyment without reason, and the stimulating uncertainty between being a good boy and a bad boy.

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.
