Hank and Jolene
Hank, a likable recluse, works at his favorite place in the world, Muddy Boots Nursery, owned and operated by married couple Aki and Nobu, the closest thing to family that Hank has. Recently reeling from the mysterious demise of #1, a prize-winning goldfish and Hank's best friend, the typically lively Hank barely musters up the energy to get through work. On delivery day, a surprising discovery connects Hank with a curious stowaway, a Madagascar hissing cockroach, which he rescues and fondly names Jolene. Soon, the two are inseparable and Hank embarks on an emotional journey and discovers new feelings of love. As Hank embraces the excitement his new world has to offer, the offbeat affair also challenges him, further distancing Hank from his familiar orbit. Eventually, Hank is burdened with life’s biggest obstacle - growing up. HANK AND JOLENE, an unconventional love story 300 million years in the making.
