Synopsis
By hook or by crook, Fatia moves toward the ring. She knocks down her adversary, feints, bleeds and persists. Fatia doesn't speak about her pain, especially not about the pain of losing her father when she was 10. Her mother entered her into a boxing tournament in Sétif, Algeria, where her father is buried. It's an opportunity to speak to her daughter about her past and to free her.

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.
