80', Feature Film

Italy, 2018

BUTTERFLY

Directed by Alessandro Cassigoli and Casey Kauffman

Irma Testa, at just 18 years old, is the first female boxer to arrive at the Olympics, an extraordinary result for a girl who grew up in one of the poorest and most underworld areas of all of Naples. The further Irma goes on her journey, the more fragile she becomes as a person, and so, after a crushing defeat at the Rio Olympic Games, she begins to wonder if boxing really represents her future. Irma has yet to carve her own path but first has to come to terms with her personal life which she has put on the sidelines for so long.
