Synopsis
Tarika lives with her father and her grandmother in a small hut near the border, far away from the local village. Marked by her ‘butterfly wings,’ a rare bone condition she inherited from her mother, the girl has been the source of the community’s superstition forever. When the local cattle are struck down by a mysterious disease, fear starts spreading among the villagers.
