In this irreverent comedy set in the 1950s, the CEO of King Banana Corporation decides to divide his multi-million-dollar empire between his three children. When ecologist Cora, his youngest daughter, publicly embarrasses him, he disinherits her and leaves her with nothing. Convinced something’s afoot, Cora secretly travels to her family’s banana plantation to investigate. There she discovers that the company has been concealing knowledge of Panama disease, a fungus threatening to destroy the global monoculture of Gros Michel bananas. Armed with scientific know-how, Cora sets out to redeem herself and save the family business. But will her power-hungry siblings prevent her from solving this ecological crisis? With any luck, she’ll prevail and become top banana.
