Adulthood
Synopsis
Sabrina, 20, lives in a partially restored old house with her former boyfriend and tries to make ends meet by doing small jobs here and there. She signs up for a course in the hope of going back to school and getting qualified one day, and at the same time takes a job as a stripper in a nightclub on the Old Port of Marseilles. Wanting to become an adult is neither a vain hope nor an easy task, and nobody can tell her that being twenty is the best time of life.

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.
