Synopsis
Two journeys take place simultaneously in two different time periods. One is a return trip by train across two continents; the other uses an old family photograph to trace back to life during wartime. The rhythmic swaying of the train merges past and present, revealing a long-forgotten memory buried in dust.

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.
