Baron, a young and innocent man from a small town, finds himself in a penitentiary where he shares his story with his cellmate Otis. Baron had lost his job at the post office for not cutting his long hair, struggled to find work, and faced the escalating cost of his bedridden mother’s medication. One day, while feeling hopeless in a park, he encounters Marmalade, a vibrant and carefree woman with pink hair who brings excitement into his life.
Marmalade takes an interest in Baron and introduces him to her spontaneous lifestyle. As they bond over their personal struggles - Marmalade being a victim of the foster care system and Baron caring for his sick mother - their connection deepens. Marmalade suggests robbing a bank to help pay for Baron’s mother’s medication, leading them down a dangerous path of crime and betrayal.
The film unfolds as Baron recounts this ill-fated romance with Marmalade from inside a jail cell, revealing twists and turns that add complexity to their story. Despite its comic tone and nods to classic film noir elements, “Marmalade” blends humor, romance, and crime in a unique narrative that keeps viewers engaged until the surprising yet poignant conclusion.
