Synopsis

At Brignogan-Plages, thirty-year-old Zoé works at "The Winkles" bar with her father, Guy. Barmaid and boss combined, she is exhausted by having to be responsible for everything, supporting Guy since her mother's premature death. One morning, Zoé starts suffering from dizzy spells and nausea, which upset her daily routine. She fears that she might be pregnant, but her gynaecologist informs her that she is suffering from something entirely different.

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.
