Caterpillar Plot and Cast
In 2003, three generations live under one leaky Wellington roof, each on the brink of change. Sixteen-year-old Cassie hides her vulnerability behind bravado as she drifts into risky territory. Her mother Maxine, 52, a single-mother filmmaker, finally gets a greenlight if she can land a star. Meanwhile, 80-year-old Huia holds the family together, devoted to quiet service and raising monarch caterpillars, and dreams of witnessing the butterfly migration in Mexico. When Huia's mind begins to fail, the family is thrown into chaos.
