"Second Jen" is a coming-of-age comedy about two second-generation millennials (Chinese-Canadian and Filipino-Canadian) and inseparable best friends who move out to a shabby city triplex to prove to their immigrant families, and themselves, that they can make it on their own.
In Toronto, best friends Jennifer "Jen" Wu and Jennifer "Mo" Monteloyola decide to become roommates when Mo's parents move back to the Philippines and Jen takes the opportunity to live independent of her Chinese immigrant parents. They move into a rooming-house apartment where they meet housemates--eager Lewis and mellow Nate--whose new friendship encourages the girls to not give up on the challenges of their newly independent lives. Developed from the 2014 short comedy film of the same name by the same creators.
