The Czech film Kam motýli nelétají (2022) was shown in the U. S. with the translated title Where Butterflies Don't Fly. It was written and directed by Roman Nemec.
Daniel Krejcík portrays Daniel, a 19-year-old young man who is generally unliked and unloved. Jirí Vojta plays Adam, a closeted gay teacher at Daniel's school.
Once we've met the cast--Daniel's mother and father, Adam's partner--the movie is essentially a two-person drama. The acting is good, the plot is well-developed, and the interaction between the young man and his teacher holds your interest.
This movie has an acceptable 7.2 IMDb rating. I thought it was much better than that, and rated it 9.
We saw the film as part of Rochester's wonderful ImageOut LGBTQ Film Festival. I hope it finds a distributor so it's available commercially.
