Butterfly stories is a magical trip to the world of butterfly people all over the world. The main story is a witty road trip with the singer/songwriter Cory McAbee aka Wandering Star on the butterfly trail from Chicago to the highlands of Mexico. In his search for inspiration the singer/songwriter follows the spectacular monarch migration. Other butterfly stories are about a young artist from Ecuador who has fallen in love with the unseen beauty of moths, a couple of silkworm-breeders and a moth hunter in the Thai jungle, a Swiss hippie girl living in her own cocoon and a German guy who just hates butterflies. Metamorphosis and magical microcosm are keywords for the film.
