Float Like a Butterfly (2018) 14

Ireland | 2018 | 101 min.

Fifteen-year-old Frances lost her mother in a fight - the same fight which landed her father in jail for the last ten years. Like her idol Muhammad Ali, she wants to be The Greatest too. When her father gets out of jail, she feels that this is her chance, but he doesn't turn out to be the hero she remembers. Due to the conditions of his parole, he's forced to endure humiliation from the police sergeant. And to make up for lost time, he is resolute to make a man of his son and an obedient wife of his daughter. Now Frances must fight even for the right to fight.
