The butterfly... an archetypal symbol... its beauty and development left no folk untouched down the centuries... the symbol of the soul, of the incessant change, of evolution... a symbol that reminds us of the lessons gained from change itself... it is an exquisite creature associated with freedom and happiness, which however, to achieve such levels of beauty and freedom, had to struggle and toil hard for its inner and outer metamorphosis...
For Myrto, a woman who has lived her life on the edge, her choices had always been choices made by others... she was a ‘white butterfly’ who could never manage to fly out free and touch happiness as she had dreamt of it...
