Synopsis
In the intimacy of their yellow cabs as we cruise the streets of New York, migrant taxi drivers tell me about their lives. While sketching the outlines of tomorrow's America, their stories raise questions about how we try to become who we want to be: How do you choose your life instead of accepting what is handed to you? How do you find your own way? Together, we weave a collective fable about America and choice.

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.
