This stunning surreal narrative tells its tale of love and desire without words; only the buzzing and fluttering of butterfly wings seems to suggest another kind of desire. The two protagonists live cocoon-like in their small apartments, separated only by an air shaft. Like a butterfly's emergence from a cocoon, the characters' murmurings and contained energy come to life with abandon as they spread their own wings and finally embrace one another.
