Synopsis
Tojinbo is a small, seaside resort town on the northern coast of Honshu Island in Japan. Each day, visitors from throughout the country rush to admire the impressive, black balsalt cliffs. Away from the bustle of the main street, with its souvenir stores, a man who has bound his life to this site guides us in our discovery of his paradoxal reality: a tourist town by day and macabre theater by night.

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.
