Synopsis

The film immerses us in the free roaming of wild horses in Galicia. We enter their psychological, environmental, and sonic world, breathing in harmony with them. The horse, an animal of prey, has kept the flight instinct, with fear as an innate mechanism inscribed in its genes. This instinct will be challenged: captured, they will be forced to participate in an initiatory tradition: the shaving of the beasts.

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.
