Little Fish is about Tracy Heart Cate Blanchett, a former heroin addict who is desperately trying to escape her past and achieve her goals and dreams. Tracy lives with her mother Noni Hazlehurst and brother in the Little Saigon area Cabramatta in Sydney, Australia, where heroin is readily available.She is in need of money to become a partner in the video store that she works in, but her loan applications are repeatedly rejected by finance providers, as a result of her past criminal record, poor repayments of credit card debt, history of drug use and lack of collateral. Tracy lies to both her mother and her boss at the video store, pretending she has received the loan. This is one of the recurring themes of the movie, the casual ways people lie to each other for convenience. ........
