Marlene D. Morel is an emotionally troubled Chinese-American
teenage girl growing up in Utopia-Zurich, Switzerland. To avoid her
drunk, abusive father, who is the Swiss version of Oscar Wilde and
her American mother, a has-been soap opera star, who has no
interest in her chubby, slant-eyed daughter, Marlene spends most of
her time hiding inside the warehouse, which houses the family
business, Morel Theatrical Costumier. Preferring life among
mannequins, props and costumes, Marlene has created over the years,
a life of make-believe, where her imagination runs rampant. Trouble
is, unbeknownst to her, she's also created an alter-ego named Bad
Egg who happens to be a 'toon' and who wants to eliminate Marlene's
personality all together. And to make things worse, Bad Egg has
also created an alter-ego in the form of Kali, the Hindu Goddess of
Sex and Destruction who plans on murdering Marlene's abusive
father. Between these three out of control personalities, not to
mention, Marlene's difficult circumstances with both parents, the
poor girl ends up in a mental institution. With the help of a
Jungian psychologist named Dr. Karin Sommerfeldt, Marlene D.
Pig-Ponies is a cross between the films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest and American Beauty.
