Imagine that your father is a Palestinian Arab, and he had fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Imagine that you have siblings, and you cannot talk to them because you do not speak the same language. Imagine that you have a family, but you were raised without parents... The film reveals the extraordinary story of a Palestinian family.
The Trace of the Butterfly is the story of people crossing our lives, then leaving, only for us to discover, after a while, that they have not only made a difference in our own lives, but have re-formulated an entire country.
A Documentary directed by Amal Ramsis
