It is said that love can survive anything. But can it trump death, deception, toxicity and privation? In four stories, BUTTERFLY TEARS delivers four different takes on love and loss. From supernatural romance to impossible relationships, Fang Yili revisits Chinese myths and stories in her own way to create a rich and emotional depiction of classic Chinese tales beyond gender, society or condition. The first story, 'Tragic romance', is inspired from the classic Chinese legend 'Butterfly lovers'. Zhu Yingtai is the only girl in a nine children family. But she can't accept that women aren't allowed to study in college. She decides to attend anyway, posing as a man. There, she meets Liang Shanbo and falls in love with him. But Zhu has to return home and reveal herself as a woman. Liang travels to find Zhu, but unfortunately, their love can't exist in this life. Will it happen in Death? In 'Butterfly Tears', a butterfly falls in love with a human. But he doesn't see her for who she is. Still, she knows in her heart that they are destined to be together, even though she'll die before him. As she transitioned to the next life, she meets Madame Meng, the latter gives her a bowl of a very special soup. Then she waits for the love of her life to cross the Dark Huangquan road. Will they find each other in the next life? In 'Lover', Xiao Lang is a warrior and Dragon whisperer. But he mourns the loss of his lover, Nong Yu, bound by a thousand-year curse. Xiao Lang has waited for centuries to be reunited with his bride. So, when the opportunity finally comes, is it a dream sent by the evil Queen Mother or reality? Finally, 'Mr Hua', analyzes the impact of fate on feelings. Can those from previous lives passed on to the next? Can love transcend gender, space and time? (immagine)

Discover the classic Alexander Dumas story of The Three Musketeers like you've never seen them before… In an action-packed Manfra (French Manga) version! A bold new take on a classic story. 1627. A young, noble and penniless man rides towards Paris. The impetuous d'Artagnan harbors a single dream: to become a Musketeer of the King and thus join an elite corps symbolizing prestige and heroism. By a twist of fate, he will cross paths with three valiant companions in arms: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, known as the Three Musketeers! In the realm of Louis XIII, conspiracy reigns. Catholics strive to retain their power against Protestants, the English are perceived as a threat, and the Musketeers must thwart the schemes of the powerful Cardinal de Richelieu and his elusive accomplice, Milady de Winter. But don't they say that strength lies in unity? The Three Musketeers have made it their motto: 'One for all... all for one!' Adapted from the most recent movie available on Amazon Prime Video.
