Film Synopsis:

After a doctor finds a bunch of butterflies in Sead's stomach, he urges him to get an operation. However, today is Friday the 13th and that might be fatal for the patient. Even though Sead doesn't much believe in superstitions, he accepts the doctor's safer way of treating his problem - going to therapy and making butterflies come out of his mouth. Except, Sead would much rather risk his life than talk about his feelings.
