At an international school in Hong Kong, a culturally confused teenager attempts to prove that she's a local, rejecting her so-called “westernized” friends and interests in the process.
"Pineapple (菠蘿)" is a 10-episode coming-of-age web series. The story explores the unspoken divides between Hong Kong teenagers from different backgrounds and the stereotypes they strive to overcome. The characters navigate high school, superstardom, and deformed pineapple buns, until they find new ways to belong. Watch all 10 episodes below.
