Alas de Mariposa is a tragic film that deals with the hardships of a little girl, Amanda, and the struggle to identify and relate to her parents. After a terrible tragedy, Amanda must cope with the consequences and piece together her life in order to survive the rejection of her mother and grandfather, and hold on to the weak connection to her father.
When the film "Frankenstein" is showed in a small spanish town, two little girls begin to suspect there is a "spirit" similar to Frankenstein living near their home. We enter the world of these little girls and remember how we used to imagine and explore our new surroundings as we were growing up. Great Cinematography add to the telling of this creepy tale.
This film is mostly about the rural living of a family who moves out of the city. The young boy, Romulo, does not know what the "big city" looks like and he uses his imagination to make his own out in the jungle. His family must deal with their decision, which sometimes brings terrible consequences. The editing and juxtaposition of images make this a true statement between what is right and wrong with the governments of Latin-America. The non-linear way of storytelling is used at it's best, which makes this film all the more interesting.
