In 1960s China, French diplomat Rene Gallimard falls in love with an opera singer, Song Liling – but Song is not at all who Gallimard thinks.
Editor's Verdict
"M. Butterfly is a historical romantic drama centered on espionage, gender identity, and obsession in 1960s China and France. There are no discernible connections to the Christmas season, plot, themes, or iconography."
