Sinopse
What does a butterfly leave behind when it crosses the air around us? How do we feel its trace that never goes away?, The film begins with the Maspero massacre, which left 27 Coptic Christian demonstrators killed at the hands of Egypt’s military on October 9, 2011. Among those killed was the ‘Guevara of the Egyptian Revolution’, Mina Daniel. For his sister Mary, it marked the end of one life and the beginning of another., Mary takes us on a two year journey of the Egyptian Revolution, two years of frustration and triumph, of more and more deaths, and the feeling of the perpetual absence and ever presence of the departed. “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.
