Someone sent me a link to this short movie several months ago. I love movies, but I'm generally not into little short films. The few I have seen were mostly boring art house type films poorly made on a shoestring budget with bad acting. I gave the Butterfly Circus a try and was very glad I did. A different friend forwarded me this link again today and it made me smile.
I almost hate to describe it as I doubt I can do it justice.
Back in the Depression there was a little man with nearly no arms or legs. The only way he can make a living is being a sideshow freak. People laugh and throw things at him. He naturally becomes very bitter. One day a man comes through the sideshow that does not make fun of him. He is the ringleader of the Butterfly Circus and welcomes him to the group. He learns for the first time what it's like to be treated by people who are good and loving.
The short 22 minute film is well made and acted. It will leave you with that warm and fuzzy feeling we all need from time to time. Trust me on this and give it a try.
Watch it here in the full screen.
