Synopsis
There is what I see, what is shown to me, what I do not see, what I cannot see.
I am invited to film a ritual. The one that can be shown to the dried heads, to outsiders like me. A child of the tribe is watching Disney's Fantasia on TV. We interrupt him. What fills the child when he dances? What can I see of what I am being shown?
Filmed among the Xukurú Karirí tribe - State of Alagoas - Brazil.

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.
