Synopsis
The opening of communal graves enclosing the bodies of thirty men shot during the Spanish Civil War shatters the Andalusian village of Santaella. Seventy years after the events, pickax and spades wage a battle for dignity. Earth is dug and we bury ourselves deeply in the memories of the dead men's children.

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.
