在成为玛莉莲以前，马可在自家农场压抑着渴望。虽然穿上洋装后的他，姿色足以让人神魂颠倒，然而乡间里农夫、枪枝与摩托车的压抑氛围却打压着他的变装实验，暴力一触即发。本片改编自真实事件，就像是除去华丽表演的《摇滚芭比》，又像是考里斯马基的《火柴厂的女孩》，让人心生无奈。Marcos, a seventeen-year-old farm worker, discovers his sexuality in a hostile environment. Nicknamed Marilyn by other teenagers in town, he becomes the target both of human desire and discrimination. Marcos feels himself pushed into a corner more and more.
