The animation entitled Madama Butterfly, was created by the ever so talented Pjotr Sapegin. The story behind the animations in this, is an emotional, and realistic story. Madama had met a man in the begining and they had sex, thus creating the "happily ever after" image in Madama's head. She thought that her and the man had something special between them, regardless of what the man thought. The sailor went away, and she was going to wait for him, no matter how long it took.

When the man comes back, he comes to grab his child and Madama is happy to see him, little did she know that he was going to take the kid and go start a new life with his new family, not Madama. She was instantly heart broken, and the animation comes to a end around the time when she is tearing apart her head and body. The images portrayed in the end of the animation showed the audience how much she really cared for the man, and how badly the event that just happened effected her.
