A comedy of obsession and assimilation that charts the true account of a first generation Chinese-Canadian’s attempt to fit into a white middle-class suburb. After an alienated childhood, she eventually lands a job at an unpopular pasta bar, walking the streets as a 10-foot egg noodle. A transformation occurs when her new persona, Mr. Noodle, supersedes her own identity – only to confront a similar alienation as a noodle human.
