Our weekend of coverage continues with an interview with Australian actress, Melissa George who speaks with me about her return to down under to play Evelyn in ‘The Butterfly Tree’

When burlesque-performer-turned-florist Evelyn arrives in an Australian town, she beguiles 13-year-old Fin  and his teacher father, Al. Father and son are struggling to cope with the loss of Fin’s mother and quick to warm to Evelyn’s charms. Writer/director Priscilla Cameron’s film is rich with atmosphere and idealism, and Melissa George is charismatic as a romanticised woman who cannot live up to the expectations of men, but who represents the hope of finding a way out of sadness.
