When I Became A Butterfly

Based on true events, a meek woman in an unhappy marriage and her emotionally distant son have to cover up her husband’s accidental death while avoiding his mother, employer, and drug dealer. She must get a job and learn to drive, to keep up the act to find a better life for her and her son.

My take

A tense psychological thriller about ordinary people trapped in extraordinary circumstances. When a woman and her son must conceal a death, every interaction becomes a high-wire act of deception. Perfect for viewers who crave dark, character-driven stories that linger long after the credits roll.
