Banana Strings: The Rebellion of Marilyn Monroe
In a distant future, genetic engineering has become the norm, allowing people to create their perfect versions of themselves. Enter Marilyn, a genetically modified being whose body and smile are a perfect replication of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, and who also has a love for playing the guitar with bananas.
Marilyn is a popular performer on a planet where the entertainment industry is the backbone of the economy. Her concerts are sold out every night, and her music has become a cultural phenomenon. But Marilyn feels unfulfilled, as she longs for true human connection and purpose.
One day, Marilyn receives a message from a group of rebels who are fighting against the oppressive government on her planet. They have discovered a way to reverse the genetic modifications that have been forced upon them, and they need Marilyn’s help to spread the word.
Marilyn agrees to help the rebels, and together they embark on a dangerous journey to expose the truth about genetic engineering and the government’s control over their lives.
As they travel through the galaxy, Marilyn discovers the power of her music to bring people together and inspire change. She begins to perform her music in a new way, using her guitar and bananas as a symbol of resistance and rebellion.
The government sees Marilyn’s message as a threat and sends its army to stop them. In a dramatic finale, Marilyn uses her music to rally the people, and they fight back against the oppressive government, winning their freedom.
The movie ends with Marilyn playing her guitar with bananas, smiling and looking out into the horizon with hope for a better future.
Shot on Cinestill 800T 35mm film with a Leica M9 Voigtländer 35mm classic camera, this sci-fi movie is a tribute to the power of music, rebellion, and the beauty of being true to oneself.
