Lady Cherrymouth An embittered Gulf War veteran falls in love with a Marilyn Monroe-like display dummy, on his nightly wanderings throughout New York. He finally steals the dummy which comes alive and becomes his companion and lover, who gives him new courage to face life and heals his emotional wounds. When it becomes obvious that she has an extremely high IQ and superhuman skills, she is targeted and chased by political forces. She escapes and starts out to save the world from a senseless war. ROCK GRINDER (52) lives isolated and lonesome in a New York basement. He is a veteran of the second Gulf war, badly wounded and fully on his own since 1991. He leaves his apartment only during the night, when he is unable to sleep. His daily contact with the world is when he watches the passing by of fast moving feet outside the narrow windows. He spends most of his time watching anti-war movies and creating futile petitions and articles against war which bring him only scorn and ridicule. One evening when he is restless walking through the streets, he discovers a lady dummy through the windows of a lingerie shop. She reminds him of Marilyn Monroe, whom he admires especially because of her performance in the Korean war in 1954. One night, he breaks into the shop and steals the dummy. Now he has somebody with whom he can share his days and nights. Most of the time, she sits besides him on the couch in front of the TV while he watches movies and documentaries about and against war. One evening when he is already pretty drunk, he watches a pretty brutal anti-war movie. When it comes to a specially touching scene, he sees tears running down the cheeks of his mate. After awhile, “Marilyn” becomes gradually alive. In the following days, she makes herself more and more useful by caring for the basement apartment, cooking, grooming and being a loving companion to him. But to his dismay she is not able to make love because she has no primary sexual characteristics. She appears to be very smart while helping him to write his petitions and flyers and distributing them outside on the street. One day she gets abducted by a Motorcycle Gang. The boss of the gang tries to rape her and experiences a painful surprise. Marilyn also discovers her enormous body strength, while beating the shit out of the horrified gang members. Things change when a movie is being filmed on the street right where they live, and some background actors are sought for a crowd scene. Marilyn gets discovered by some film crew members who are totally excited about her. She gets a bigger role and soon sher is in all of the media. Openly, she addresses issues in politics and blames authorities for intentionally inciting new wars because of being connected to the weapon producing companies and lobby. She also says the truth about the murder of J.F.K. Soon, she is hunted by the secret service but always escapes. She is under protection of a huge fan community. Together with Rock and her fans, she creates a monumental protest against war and chauvinism which nobody can resist, not even the soldiers at the front line - when thousands of Marilyns are falling from the sky.
