    • Synopsis
    • Clever and ambitious Bidya is a thirteen-year-old girl from a rural village in Nepal. She has a gambler for a father, a troublemaker brother named Basanta, and a mother who is determined to provide her a better life. She desperately longs to get away from the stuffy, conservative village and go to a city, where she could write poems and further her studies. Unfortunately, unexpected situations continue to derail her dream. A debut feature written and directed by Nepalese independent filmmaker Sujit Bidari, Butterfly on the Windowpane follows the changes that Bidya undergoes through the eyes of Basanta with a stable narrative and warm colors. It is also the story of Basanta, who grows with his sister’s failure and frustration.
