City Blues
Synopsis
Slowly, a woman fades away before the world. Around her, silences, absences, an almost unbearable clarity, the empty landscapes of northern Germany. She stretches out on a couch, in her living room. Only alcohol and pills still make her move. The doctor is blunt: death from cirrhosis of the liver is imminent. The Port of Hamburg, reflections, sounds which make music out of silence. Images of absence when life takes its leave, but when love is woven. The beauty of the world.

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.
