Polyester (1981)
Die übergewichtige Hausfrau Francine Fishpaw lebt in einem idyllischen Vorort von Baltimore und träumt von einer amerikanischen Bilderbuchfamilie. Die Realität sieht jedoch anders aus: Ihr Mann Elmer betreibt ein schmieriges Pornokino und betrügt Francine mit seiner Sekretärin. Auch ihr Klebstoff schnüffelnder Sohn Dexter, der polizeilich als "Baltimore-Fußstampfer" gesucht wird und ihre naive Tochter Lu-Lu, die sich mit dem stadtbekannten Kleinkriminellen Bobo abgibt passen nicht in Francines Traumwelt. Als Francine und ihre beste Freundin Cuddles Elmer und seine Sekretärin in flagranti in einer billigen Absteige ertappen und die Nachbarn die Wahrheit über die Fishpaws heraus bekommen und versuchen die Familie aus dem Viertel zu ekeln, bricht ihre heile Welt endgültig zusammen...
