The Butterfly (Le Papillon)

Plot Summary

Eight-year-old Elsa (Claire Bouanich) and her mom Isabelle (Nade Dieu), move in next to Julien (Serrault), an elderly entomologist with a lavish butterfly collection in his apartment. Because her mother leaves her alone a lot, Elsa soon grows attached to her neighbor. When he sets out on a weeklong hike in search of a rare and beautiful butterfly, Elsa (who has never left Paris and yearns for the countryside) hides herself in his car.
Although bothered by Elsa's disturbances, Julien unwittingly finds himself becoming an important part of her life, teaching her about both the natural and human world.
