Girl was born on the very day her parents and grandmother immigrated from Malaysia to Australia. But it's hard to be the embodiment of all your family's hopes and dreams, especially in a country that's hostile to your very existence. When Girl receives a scholarship to travel to the UK, she is finally free for the first time. But Girl can't stop thinking about her upbringing and the stories of the people who raised her. What if the story of becoming yourself is not about carving out a new identity, but learning to understand the people who made you who you are?
