Sea of Butterfly

About This Movie

Sea of Butterfly is a quiet, contemplative documentary that delves into the lives of Jae-nyun and Woo-young, a couple grappling with the reality of brain lesions while navigating their relationship. It’s a raw exploration of love and the challenges of commitment, set against the backdrop of contemporary Korean society. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to really sit with the couple's experiences and emotions. The performances feel incredibly genuine, almost like a fly-on-the-wall scenario. It's distinctive in its unvarnished approach to a topic that's rarely discussed in such an intimate manner, making it a hauntingly beautiful watch that lingers after the credits roll.
