Experiencing Interruptions?

Ringo Juice

"Ringo Juice" is a comedy with heart, centered around a Japanese girl’s journey of self-discovery and cultural collision, with a unique twist.

Hanako, a clumsy and restless young woman from Tokyo, Japan, feels trapped in her mundane life and longs for change. Inspired by her favorite American actor, she makes the bold decision to leave everything behind and move to the United States. However, she has a bizarre condition: if she doesn't drink apple juice daily, she will die!!!

Arriving in America without knowing the language or anyone who can help, Hanako quickly finds herself in a crisis when she runs out of Apple Juice or as Japanese call it "Ringo Juice".

Desperate to find her lifeline, she embarks on a chaotic journey through an unfamiliar world. Along the way, she uncovers an unexpected inner strength and discovers the power of friendship and self-acceptance, leading her to confront and ultimately overcome her strange condition in surprising ways.
