CHINESE TAKE AWAY, an adaptation of an acclaimed physical theatre show, uniquely blends poetic storytelling, drama and archival footage, to bring a true story to the screen. Performer and writer, Anna Yen, in seeking to understand a family tragedy, unravels stories about her grandmother, her mother and herself. The film moves from China in the early 1900s, through Hong Kong in the 30s, suburban Sydney in the 60s into the present day. Chinese Take Away tells a deeply personal story about strength, loss and transformation that resonates universally.
