About the show

In Circassia, Farfalla, the Emir's daughter, serves the old fairy Hamza, who hopes to become young by receiving a prince's kiss. After Prince Djalma kisses Farfalla, Hamza transforms her into a butterfly. Djalma discovers her identity and brings her to the Emir's palace, where Hamza intercepts a kiss meant for Farfalla and becomes young. She later turns Farfalla back into a butterfly, but Farfalla's wings burn at a torch and she returns to human form. Hamza's sisters break her magic crutch and turn her into a statue, leaving Djalma and Farfalla free to marry.
