'Barry "Noodles" Tran is a young Vietnamese-Australian kid who loves Aussie rules football but doesn't know how to play. With the help of his mates at school, he develops his own style of football - Shaolin footy - and makes in onto the school team. His dad's not happy - he wants Noodles to forget about football and concentrate on the violin. Noodles doesn't want to disappoint his family, but he gets a severe case of "The Fear" every time he plays the violin in public. How can Noodles keep his dad happy but still play footy?'
