Anna is pushed at school to “realise her potential“, because she's Asian-Australian. She just wants to work in her Dad's Chinese restaurant, and hang out with the new Macbeth-quoting delivery boy. Her life is complicated by her sibling caring responsibilities - their mother has taken to her bed, again, & her Dad has withdrawn and is sleeping at the restaurant.
