Banana Boys
Adapted from the novel by Terry Woo, Banana Boys is a “meditation for the restless” and a call to anyone who has felt out of place in the world. "Bananas" (read: yellow on the outside, white on the inside), caught in between two cultures which do not seem to accept them fully. Five university friends struggle with career decisions, parental expectations, cultural identity, sex, love, relationships, and racism. Not quite Chinese and not really Canadian, they stumble through stories, situations, incidents, interactions that are seemingly mundane, but upon closer examination, ultimately explore the nature of identity, and reveal the possibilities within themselves.
