More than 30 years ago, Mark Soosaar made a film balancing between fiction and documentary. An old man chases butterflies and plays hide-and-seek with his grandchild in the cottage yard. Today, the game continues in the same yard, only another old man is playing with another grandchild. 'The Home for Butterflies' is Mark Soosaar’s personal diary, a poetic sequel to the film he made 30 years ago about father and son.
