Description: Holywood, le «Bois Sacré», est une sombre forêt de conifères, peuplée de monstres de foire et de vieilles caravanes ; c'est là-bas que naissent les stars de cinéma qui font tant rêver les spectateurs. Dans l'espoir d'en devenir une à son tour, la fragile Norma vient s'installer dans cette étrange ville-fantôme qui lui permet, malgré l'obscurité ambiante, de se retrouver sous le feu des projecteurs. Passé les premiers échecs, la frêle jeune femme se retrouve au coeur de l'attention du couple Wilcox, énigmatique fondateur de Holywood. Grâce à eux, Norma Jeane Baker devient Marilyn. LA Marilyn. Une femme très différente de la véritable Norma. Trop, peut-être ?
