Philip Pullman's 1992 novel 'The Butterfly Tattoo' (previously 'The White Mercedes') is given a film adaptation with this feature-length effort from Director Phil Hawkins. Starring Duncan Stuart and Jessica Blake, The Butterfly Tattoo story is in a similar vein to Romeo & Juliet, yet the film also 'tips its hat' to numerous other film genres via its cinematography and dialogue.
