Synopsis
A film from the Les Petits Secrets des grands tableaux collection - Season 4
In the midst of the Golden Age of the young Dutch republic, the painter Johannes Vermeer took a brief hiatus from his intimate depictions of women to express in this portrait of a contemporary scientist the tremendous scientific and cultural expansion of his era, which was the fountainhead of modern capitalism.

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.
