Butterfly

Oscar Nominated Animated Short Film

A beautifully animated short film, Butterfly is based on the real life story of Jewish swimmer Alfred Nakache, and the struggles that came with competing in a Berlin held Summer Olympics. So many beautiful transitions thanks to its pastel colored stop-motion animation. A touching short film.
