What happens

Mr. Butterfly (Nabi) is a 2003 South Korean action film. The film is the writing and directorial debut (and, as of 2011, only) film of Kim Hyeon-seong, sometimes credited outside Korea as Marc Kim. As the distinction between singular and plural is not as important in Korean, the original title could be translated as "butterfly or "butterflies". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
