Synopsis

"Georgi and the Butterflies" is the story of Dr. Georgi Lulchev, a psychiatrist, neurologist, and director of a home for men with psychological disabilities. He has a vision: to create a farm on the home's grounds where the patients can raise snails, ostriches, and pheasants, producing silk and soybean food. The film is a hopeful look at compassion, business, and the transformative power of butterflies, set against a backdrop of charity, faith, and the challenges faced by those with mental disabilities – including schizophrenics, oligophrenics, and psychopaths – as well as encounters with Korean investors and Western hunters. It explores themes of misery, acupuncture, and the potential for growth.
