When a scheduling error forces grieving photographer Peter to share an apartment with the rebellious Alice, their weekend together becomes unexpectedly transformative. As the two Asian-Americans navigate New York from Chinatown to the Hamptons, Peter confronts his sister's death and his own invisibility while Alice grapples with family secrets and a recent breakup. Through stolen dumplings, midnight swims, and brutal honesty two strangers learn that being seen requires first seeing yourself. Banana Split is a bittersweet comedy about grief, identity, and what happens when two people force each other to stop hiding.
