Fatherless and largely left to fend for himself, ‘To Skin a Fish’ follows Minno, a young boy growing up on the North Shore, Geelong. With a mother lost to addiction and an older sister doing her best to hold their fractured family together, Minno is quietly learning how to become a good man in a world that offers him few examples. As a mixed-race boy in a place that rarely reflects him back, he struggles to locate himself between cultures, between childhood and adulthood, between belonging and being invisible. Through moments of quiet violence and hard-earned tenderness, ‘To Skin a Fish’ traces Minno’s journey of identity, masculinity, and self-discovery — a slow, painful shedding of what no longer fits in order to become something true.
