Butterfly
Stop and taste the world.
Directed by José Luis Cuerda
Produced by TVG, Canal+ España
A tender coming-of-age story set against the gathering storm of fascism, where a boy's awakening to the world through his teacher's mentorship is shadowed by historical tragedy.
The film centres on Moncho and his coming-of-age experience in Galicia in 1936. Moncho develops a close relationship with his teacher Don Gregorio who introduces the boy to different things in the world. While the story centres on Moncho's ordinary coming-of-age experiences, tensions related to the looming Spanish Civil War periodically interrupt Moncho's personal growth and daily life.
