Madame Butterfly's Illusion
A devoted Japanese woman named Butterfly waits in Nagasaki for her American husband, Pinkerton, to return. When she spots an American ship approaching, she believes he is finally coming back to her. Instead, Pinkerton arrives with his new Caucasian wife, leaving Butterfly shattered. Overcome with despair, she takes her own life. This beautifully crafted Japanese silhouette animation stays true to its original story with grace and depth.
