Butterfly (2018)
International Emmy Award-winning Anna Friel stars in a heartfelt story from BAFTA award-winning writer Tony Marchant. Butterfly is about the relationship between separated parents, Vicky and Stephen, and their division in opinion over how to support their gender variant child, Max. From a young age, their now 11-year-old son has identified as a girl and presented signs of gender dysphoria. What unfolds for all the family members involved is the greatest challenge and test of love and understanding imaginable.

REPEAT
Stephen plays football with his 11-year-old son, Max, who seems to love it. But it's soon clear that Max is suppressing his true identity as a girl, in order to earn his father's approval. Stephen is unaware that within the confines of the family home, Vicky allows Max to dress and behave as a girl. Once Max begins secondary school, he soon becomes a target for bullies. As the onset of puberty intensifies, his feelings around gender become distressing and he deliberately cuts himself. Vicky and Stephen meet with a child psychologist and are referred on to a gender clinic.
