Sarah is a white Muslim refugee, living in a rental property with her husband and son. Fatima is an Arab-Aussie property manager and single mum. The two women get themselves and their families ready for the day - their routines share similarities, and obvious differences. The families are brought face to face when Fatima arrives for a routine property inspection. Little does she know that Sarah and her husband have just discovered a dark ugly scratch on their living room wall. What follows is an anxious, but humorous, encounter where the women must make a choice between doing what is expected and reaching beyond their own cultural context. 'The Scratch' is an endearing exploration of cultural identity and family in modern Australia. See less
