Synopsis

Souleymane is a young inhabitant of a town in the Middle East where the most literal form of sharia law has been established. All women are forced to wear a burka in public. Souleymane has just got married and he and his wife are filled with joy despite the repressive regime. The two lovebirds decide to go out to do shopping. While they are out, Souleymane has an altercation with a massive and sinister-looking man, who is also accompanied by his burka.

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.
