A Fool God
Synopsis
Mesi's mother has just died. Her grandmother holds the young girl responsible: she should not have conducted a ritual reserved for men. Mesi decides to revisit a folk tale in order to prove to her grandmother that whoever blames her for simply trying help is nothing more than a fool, including God.

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.
