Synopsis
Rolex le Portugais tried things out in Burkina Faso with no success. Here is back again in Abidjian to earn lots of money. With his friends, aged between fifteen and twenty-five, he makes ends meet through Internet scams, or by scoring some change from white women searching for love or sensations, which they then fritter away in drink or in clubs. The protagonists belong to a young generation going through transformation and disorientated by years of civil war, who intend to do nothing less than collect the colonial debt.

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.
