==Plot== A young speech therapist arrives at a lonely farm in a mysterious forest to teach a teenage girl to speak after many years of silence. He encounters a strange family, and the summer is full of emotions, confusion, and love hidden in a veil of silence and sounds. Laughter and fun resonate in tragedy. They are surrounded by summer with jealousy, suspicion, and fear, behind closed doors and windows. Occasionally there is a picnic in the forest, or a boat trip on the river, and then sudden departure when summer is over.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sommerfuglene |url=https://www.nb.no/filmografi/show?id=795221 |website=Norsk filmografi |publisher=Nasjonalbiblioteket |access-date=June 11, 2023}}</ref>
