Butterfly
Created by Tony Marchant
On ITV1
A concentrated, intimate family drama about a child's gender identity and the fraught reconciliation between estranged parents navigating their daughter's transition.
From a young age, 11-year-old, Max, has identified as a girl and as puberty looms, she begins to present increasing signs of gender variance. When Max was eight, her father, Stephen, left the family home. But as Max’s conviction that she’s in the wrong body intensifies, her distress escalates, and Stephen seizes the opportunity to return to live at the family home and support his daughter.
