    Finding poetry in science
    Threading the needle between metaphor and the scientific method, this unique film lyrically plumbs the science of butterflies to explore the existential dilemma of immigrants who leave home to pursue their dreams and the threat of the modern world on nature and indigenous worldviews and systems of belief. Hard to categorize, the film is unexpected, elusive, enigmatic. Tenoch Huerta's intense minimalist performance is a revelation, like a Latin American Brando. There is magic in the world even in laboratories, and this film will help you see it.
