Wrote, directed and co-produced this film. In a post-apocalyptic world of Trip City any contact with nature is against the law, for one exception: you may keep the butterflies in cages. TV controls the minds of the decayed inhabitants of the city, while their speech is limited to a few made-up sounds and words. Moarah, a seemingly ordinary factory-working girl, quietly protests the absurdism of her everyday life by keeping a forbidden item at home. But what does it take to be different?
