The Last Butterflies

2023 NR 27m 9.2

After a collection of environmental disasters lead society to the brink of collapse a young mother must find ways to survive with her small child as they navigate the near-future apocalypse.

In a not-so-distant future, Dad (Cooper Andrews), a brilliant NASA scientist, finds himself at the forefront of a world on the brink of ecological collapse and societal breakdown. As chaos engulfs his family's once peaceful lives, he and his wife (Whitney Wegman-Wood) become determined to protect their young daughter (Ivy Hickman), at all costs. When widespread environmental catastrophe begins to spur massive civil unrest, Dad, Mom, and their young daughter face an agonizing decision: stay and risk their lives in a crumbling society, or embark on a perilous journey into the unforgiving Canadian wilderness in search of refuge. Their final destination: Baker Lake, a potential safe haven where they may find clean water, shelter and hope. Their story is a journey that is fraught with challenges: treacherous terrain, harsh weather, and the ever-present threat of desperate, fellow survivors. Each step forward is marked by setbacks and heartaches, testing the limits of their endurance and the strength of their familial bonds. "The Last Butterflies" is a gripping tale of love, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity. It explores the lengths a family will go to protect one another and the enduring power of hope, even when hope seems like the rarest of commodities. Ultimately, it's a story of survival not just against external forces but against the internal battles that test the limits of what it means to be human.
