'Jamie was abandoned as a baby in Sri Lanka – at least that’s what his adoptive mother Katherine told him. 

'Jamie’s fine with not knowing about his birth family but then he falls in love with Zahra, an anti-racism activist who tells him about the shady history of international adoption. Jamie starts to wonder: Why is Katherine so secretive? And where exactly is his adoption file? 

'Over one eventful family dinner, his story unfolds and unravels, dishing up themes of identity, love, truth, forgiveness and honouring the past. With more than one-quarter of Aussies born overseas and almost half with a parent born overseas, Cut Chilli, directed by Ari Palani, will spice up our appetite for new and culturally diverse stories.'
