Butterfly is a haunting lyrical drama about how first love can root itself in our consciousness. Flavia is a happily married schoolteacher who has put her "experimental" past behind her. As a free-spirited student involved in China's infamous Tiananmen Square riot, she learned firsthand that non-conformity often comes with a steep price. But Flavia is rocked to the core when she meets Yip, a young singer, who rekindles the long-suppressed lesbian feelings of her youth.
