On November 25, 1960, the bodies of three sisters were found near the bottom of a cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official daily 'El Caribe' reports that it had been an accident, but it does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it mention the sisters' fierce opposition to the General Trujillo's dictatorship. This is their story: how Minerva started the tragedy by refusing Trujillo; how Patria became an opponent from the church itself; how Maria Teresa joined the revolution through the love. And how they lost their wings, but not their courage. They were Las Mariposas - "The Butterflies".

| User ReviewJoyce WI watched this is my college spanish class and it was very moving. One of my favorite movies. Salma Hayek did a phenomenal job. |
| User ReviewPuneet Tthis movie is only for the ppl who like watching historical movies! salma hayeks best performance so far! the essence of the scenerio has been captured so well n the role a church played in the days gone by is strongly presented! the film is a classic!!!!! |
| User ReviewGordon AAn excellent movie that accentuates the price people in the recent past have paid for freedom we have today. It begs the question of how have we changed as citizens of our time. Perhaps many of us would be counted amongst the dead. A very inspiring film that emboldens even the faint of heart. |
| User ReviewAlan WThis is a true story of living under a dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. The dictator was eventually assassinated |
