Synopsis

Mylène, fifty-five years old, is a cleaning woman on a ferry. This evening, her colleagues have organized a surprise birthday party for her. But Mylène's former name is written on the birthday present envelope offered to her, a man's name, from her former life. Who has wanted to betray her transidentity? In the noise of the party where these exploited women are beginning to demand their rights, Mylène must investigate.

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.
