One day Sara, 6, discovers that she can fly. But it proves to be a capricious capacity as it only happens sometimes, when she gets the euphoric sensation of ”butterflies” in her stomach. Sara’s mum, who flabbergasted sees her daughter float, takes her to the hospital for an examination. An investigation is initiated with the aim of ”catching” the butterflies.
