Read on for all the details about Hallmark’s upcoming movie, Feeling Butterflies.
What is Feeling Butterflies about?
Emily Mariposa (Kayla Wallace) is a lepidopterist—the scientific name for a butterfly expert—who runs a booming business that releases butterflies at weddings and special events. Garrett Thorson (Kevin McGarry), a widow, hires Emily for his daughter Amanda’s (Alyssa Gervasi) birthday party, where the three make a connection. Emily gets the opportunity of a lifetime when a well-known—but demanding—socialite wants to hire her to release over a thousand butterflies at her upcoming wedding. It’s a tall order but if she pulls it off, Emily would get invaluable exposure for her business. She agrees to take it on and Garrett and Amanda happily offer to lend a hand. Emily’s feelings for Garrett grow but his potential move to New York, and the return of his ex-girlfriend leave her questioning if they have a future together. And just to add another layer of drama, a parasite threatens the caterpillars they’ve been nurturing for release at the wedding and Emily is afraid she won’t be able to pull off the socialite’s request.
