Synopsis
The peacefulness of a wild lake and its wildlife is suddenly disturbed by the arrival of a hiker: Stéphane, a thirty-something city dweller recovering from burnout. Just when he thinks he's found solitude and tranquility, the mysterious lake turns out not to be as quiet and isolated as it seems.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
