Frank is a teenage hot-dog-boy who lives with his Grandma. He is entering adolescence and wants to understand who he is and what he would like to do. He is an intelligent hot dog who spends his time playing games and performing silly jokes that he believes will make him popular on social media, hoping to attract the attention of his friends and followers while dealing with the new emotions of adolescence.
Frank recognizes when he makes a mistake and puts all his effort into correcting it. He also understands the feelings of others and always seeks to help his friends when they are in trouble. Throughout the series Frank will look for a way to find his own talent to make the lives of others better.
Joan is Frank’s best friend, who always supports him in his adventures but also gets him into the silliest scrapes. Joan lets herself be carried away very easily by her instincts and does not usually think deeply about her decisions as she is so trusting of others. Joan loves to be accepted by people although they sometimes struggle with her trust.
Although most of the time she supports Frank in his plans, Joan will discover throughout the series that sometimes it’s okay not to be friends with everyone around us.
Hanna is a self empowered pizza girl: intelligent, independent and athletic. Hanna also enjoys social media and is always one of the first to like the videos that Frank uploads. Despite her apparent confidence, Hanna is afraid of looking bad in public or being a victim of social media bullying; her external image is very important to her. Hanna thrives on helping others, but she rarely allows other people to come into her life or help her with her problems. Throughout the series she will learn that having friends can make her strong, especially when problems arise.
Mrs. Filomena Furter or Mrs. Furter, is Frank’s hot dog grandmother. She is the typical loving but nagging grandmother. She is usually the victim of Frank’s jokes but also the person who gives him valuable life lessons. Mrs. Furter spends her days walking around the city and cooking delicious desserts. Mrs. Furter will also be the window to the city’s past and the adventures that other young people lived before Frank, Joan and Hanna.

When you are a teen, all the things that happen to you teeter on the border between disaster and the best adventure of your life. @FFrank.123 transfers the emotions of teens to everyday foods with whom we share our daily lives: a hot dog, a pizza, a hamburger, empanadas, tacos and more.
This is a series that, from the premise of the sitcom, explores the trials of adolescence: friendship, first love, hormonal changes and family relationships, all of this in the midst of the dynamic world of social networks and hyperactivity of contemporary youth.
@FFrank.123 is a series that connects with teenagers by addressing their day to day issues using everyday situations, transforming them into absurd adventures where the most important thing is recognition of difference, a fundamental value in today’s society. Have you ever seen a hot-dog-boy have a crush? Does a karate pizza girl suffer from acne? How does a hamburger girl make a fool of herself on social media? This is the time to tell a story where we can all be fast food and enjoy great escapades in our daily lives.
@FFrank.123 is told in a middle-class suburb of a very international city where there are all the usual amenities: schools, hospitals, gyms, residential complexes, supermarkets, parks, etc. The city exists in a parallel reality where foods have a life of their own and are born, grow, reproduce and are happy. It is a world in which people are food. Each character represents a lifestyle but also a vision of the world that defines their personality. That’s why the protagonist is Frank Furter, a hot dog boy, funny but insecure. The 3D animation style allows the characters to be modeled according to the real shapes of the foods.
