Set in a run-down Wellington villa in 2003, Caterpillar follows three women living separate lives under one leaky roof.

Holding everything together is Huia, Cassie’s grandmother, 80, whose life has been defined by quiet service to family and a private obsession with raising monarch caterpillars, dreaming of one day witnessing the legendary butterfly migration in Mexico.
