Synopsis
Spring 2017. Twenty-five-year-old Pierre, a scholarship student at one of Paris's top business schools, lives with Francine, a seventy-five-year-old whose disability keeps her stuck in a wheelchair. They witness with puzzlement the hubbub caused by the French presidential elections, at the phase between the two rounds of voting, happening outside. Far from all these electoral meetings, Pierre helps Francine's body and Francine tries to care for Pierre's soul.

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.
