Synopsis
Using as a starting point excerpts from texts by thinkers, philosophers, biologists, politicians, journalists, and novelists, from lectures, interviews, and speeches, this impassioned film highlights a certain aspect of our ever-more complex society with its fake technological progress, propaganda, addiction to social media, and marketing obsession. It is also an exploration in the form of a futuristic science fiction tale that points toward a better world, as it endeavors to define the poetic contours of a merciless reality that faces us.

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.
