Synopsis

In the torpor of summer, in the middle of the Cévennes, Juliette, Ben, Johanna, and their children gather in their mother's house to watch over her body. Together, they search for their place in this new cohabitation, inventing a daily life for themselves in this moment suspended by sun and death. They sweat. Joy endures. Soon, the body will leave the house.

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.
