The Caterpillar Wish is a movie described by star Susie Porter in terms she seems to think might work against it. "It's another low budget film set in an Australian coastal town," she explains. "Journalists might say 'Christ, not another one'."
But she believes in it, playing the character of Susan to the fullest in (as Porter rightly points out) another small town-set family drama. To many the premise will mean points scored against The Caterpillar Wish, but there's already one big point in its favour; Porter herself.

Stephen (Mammone) is plagued with guilt over the murder/suicide of his wife and young daughter and one of the few friends the quiet and reserved Emily has apart from her boyfriend Joel. Stephen's sister Elizabeth (Hughes) is married to the adulterous town police sergeant Carl (Quast) whom Emily begins to suspect might be her real father.
