Analysing the indie drama Fish Tank (2009), exploring growing up without privileges, the choices that make our paths, and the symbolism of change.

Fish Tank, a uniquely hardened British film presenting the coming-of-age journey of a 15-year-old girl in an Essex council estate, it follows like a fly on the wall; giving the audience a glimpse into a broken home and how resilience and determination has made hardened walls between each family member. From the mother’s jealousy of her oldest daughter’s youth and freedom to the boyfriend that takes what he pleases, Fishtank does not want your sympathy. A story that simply shows decisions and routes taken; it emphasises a 'this is how it is' within a council estate.
