Synopsis
In Burkina Faso, "light" is synonymous with electricity from the local power grid, but in 70% of villages, the best that can be hoped for is electric power from a gas generator that is used to run household appliances. Belonging to the grid seems to be a true luxury.

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.
