What is Butterfly about? Toggle content

Butterfly is a heartwarming and thought-provoking drama that explores the complexities of gender identity and the unconditional love of family. The series follows the journey of Maxine, an 11-year-old trans girl who has always known she was meant to be a girl, despite being born in a boy's body. As she navigates the challenges of puberty and her desire to transition, Maxine's family must confront their own beliefs and limitations in order to support her. With the help of her fiercely protective mother, Vicky, and her recently returned father, Stephen, Maxine musters the courage to embrace her true identity and find her place in a world that often seeks to suppress her. Through its sensitive and realistic portrayal of a family in transition, Butterfly shines a light on the importance of acceptance, understanding, and the power of love.
