Butterfly on a Wheel
Set against the backdrop of Toronto’s vibrant and urban landscape, Butterfly on a Wheel follows Jacen Davis (Curran Walters) as a gifted young musician struggling to keep up with daily life due to his OCD and anxiety. Studying jazz at the prestigious Royal Conservatory of Music, Jacen hopes to one day conquer his fears and perform to a live audience at the illustrious Koerner Hall. While playing alone one afternoon, a chance encounter with fellow student Sorrel (Brielle Robillard) sets in motion a transformative journey that will shape Jacen’s perception of the world around him, and with the support of his brother Dylan (Michael Provost), hopes to re-discover his most authentic self.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A tender and visually lyrical exploration of a creative mind grappling with invisible chains. The film avoids cliché, instead finding the rhythm of anxiety in its editing and the release of hope in its jazz-infused score.
What lingers after the final frame is a quiet, resonant chord of empathy. It’s a story that champions the courage found in vulnerability and the transformative power of human connection. — MovieFinder Editorial
