Polyester
Abused, neglected, and, above all, bullied in her own house, the unhappy Baltimore housewife with a heart of gold and an acute sense of smell, Francine Fishpaw, watches her already derailed life take a turn for the worse. To further complicate matters, without a shred of shame, Elmer--Francine's sleazy husband and owner of the local X-rated theatre--is leaving her for another woman; her disdainful daughter, Lu-Lu, is bearing the child of her delinquent boyfriend, and her glue-sniffing son, Dexter, is becoming a vicious foot fetishist. Then, out of the blue, the suave blonde charmer, Todd Tomorrow, enters the picture, and, for once in her life, Francine feels loved. Is there a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow?
