Plot

From the visionaries behind Once and Sing Street, Float Like a Butterfly spins the compelling tale of a young girl's relentless pursuit for acceptance and liberty. In a fascinating twist on the narrative of the classic film Billy Elliot, we follow the journey of 15-year-old Frances, a fiercely determined girl who must contend for the right to strike back. Born and bred in the rustic encampments of rural Ireland, Frances dreams of stepping into the boxing ring to champion her community, inspired by her idol, the legendary Muhammad Ali. Albeit, societal constraints aim to shatter her spirit and dismantle her unconventional lifestyle. Her father, once her most formidable advocate, is himself too dispirited to envisage a brighter future for his little girl. Yet, Frances is no ordinary girl; she is a fighter, a spirit too resilient to be crushed. Engaging in the ultimate battle, she must delve into the depths of her courage to unearth the champion within - the champion her father once believed her to be. Float Like a Butterfly is a stirring story of resistance, resilience, and the will to fight against all odds.
