Present Absence
Synopsis
When my dad first contacts me, I have no more images (pictures) of him. A year ago, my mother decided to burn the clichés. However, when she asked if I wanted to keep them, I remember telling her: These are not my memories and this person does not exist for me. Why am I going to miss something I never needed?

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.
