Butterfly

“To become oneself in a world that asks you to stay small.”

A nervous young poet takes the stage to perform, but as he speaks, his words are shown through a symbolic inner world where self-confinement takes physical form. He is asked to confront the cocoon he has built around himself, and fights to reach the world waiting for him beyond the silk. The poet must emerge from silence and self-doubt, completing metamorphosis, even with no one left as witness.
