Butterfly Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: The brilliant Renate Reinsve (‘The Worst Person in the World’, ‘Sentimental Value’, ‘Fjord’) leads Itonje Søimer Guttormsen’s BUTTERFLY, an intriguing and mystical drama about two estranged sisters who reunite in Gran Canaria after the sudden, mysterious death of their mother.

Half-sisters Diana (Helene Bjørneby) and Lily (Reinsve) grew up as the only resident children at an all-inclusive resort in the Canary Islands, where their uninhibited mother, Vera, worked as a tour guide. Twenty-five years later, they are estranged, having both actively sought distance from the island and from each other.

Forced back to the island together, they must confront the aftermath of Vera’s death at an esoteric mountain retreat, where she had tried to build a spiritual world far removed from the island’s package-tour veneer.
