A bored butterfly lands on a motorcycle helmet and slips inside. The rushing owner, already late for work, puts it on without noticing. Startled by the butterfly trapped near his face, he stops the bike, removes the helmet, and lets it fly away. Still in a hurry, he rides out and crashes into a milkman. The can of milk spills across the road. This small accident sets off a chain of events in different places, each leading to another, until it finally ends in the death of a man. A short film about how the smallest things can create the biggest consequences.
