Jesús Castejón What Butterfly Is About
In Spain before the civil war a shy boy starting school grows close to his elderly teacher, who shows him insects and birds and how to ask questions. It proceeds sweetly and calmly for a long stretch, with the political tension audible only in the adults' conversation. Then the war arrives and the final scene is among the most painful closings in cinema, as the boy is forced to use the words he learned for the opposite purpose. The teacher is never idealised.
