In 1960, the bodies of three sisters were discovered at the bottom of a cliff in the Dominican Republic, with the official report attributing the tragedy to an accident. However, the sisters' fierce opposition to General Trujillo's dictatorship was not mentioned. The story of the sisters, known as Las Mariposas or "The Butterflies", revolves around Minerva's refusal to back Trujillo, Patria's opposition from within the church, Maria Teresa's involvement in the revolution through love, and their unwavering courage despite losing their lives.
