Birth of a Butterfly

Directed by Mojtaba Raie

With Reza Naji, Mehdi Faghih, Rahim Jahani and Seyed Saeed Musavi

Tensions abound in the relationships featured in the three episodes which make up the film - that between two young children and their stepfather, a cripple setting off alone on a pilgrimage without the company of his fellow villagers, and a teacher returning to his remote village and finding himself the subject of unrealistic expectations of the other villagers.
