Synopsis

Cancer, No Kidding is the story of Jeanne, a newbie to chemo, her nurse, and her friends who are looking for solutions to the side effects of the disease. Be aware, they are not talking about nausea but about the real side effects: the reactions of the people around them. As their iconoclastic quest for solutions to the double whammy of cancer and bullshit unfolds, their relationships expand to include exchanges with other patients and goes beyond the patient/caregiver archetype to produce an ambiguous, serious, and tender twist.

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.
