four days

More than fragment of Marilyn Monroe life, it is a fresco of social pressure, fame, condition of people, clash of perspectives. Story of four days, it is a portrait of people as objects, about mental health and normality, about abuse and brutal solutions, it reminds familiar things, defining them in precise terms. A letter as testimony and help cry. And other side of a biography , behind sparkles.
