In the 1940s, the dictator Rafael Trujillo turned the life of the Dominican Republic into a tragic opera. After daring to say “no” to him at a ball, Minerva is forced to go underground under the name of “Mariposa” (Spanish for butterfly). Her commitment will challenge her tender friendship with Arantxia, a Spanish woman who has emigrated to the island to pursue a career as a dancer, and who does not share her opinions.
