Stranger Things heartthrob Joe Keery and Camila Morrone steal money and kisses in the new Bonnie & Clyde-style crime film, Marmalade. Marking the directorial debut of actor Keir O’Donnell, the film also stars the always-great Aldis Hodge (Black Adam) in a supporting role.
As seen in the new trailer, Keery stars as Baron, who reminisces to his cellmate about the intense relationship he had with Marmalade (Morrone). The passion they had for one another eventually led to crime, as they plot a bank robbery so Baron could pay for his mom’s medicine.
“Once upon a time, I was just a wee boy. I worked at the post office. Then [I met] the girl of my dreams,” Baron says.
But when things go sideways, Baron’s future is threatened and he begins to question Marmalade’s true motives. Now Baron and his cellmate are plotting a prison break so he can be reunited with the woman he loves.
Here’s the synopsis: Keir O’Donnell’s directorial debut, MARMALADE, is an edge-of-the-seat crime-tinged romance tale that follows recently incarcerated Baron (Keery) who strikes up a friendship with cellmate Otis (Hodge), a man with a well-versed history of prison breaks. As the pair hatch an escape plan together, Baron recalls the story of how he met Marmalade (Morrone), the love of his life, and their “Bonnie and Clyde” style scheme to rob a bank in order to care for his sick mother and give the couple the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Marmalade opens in theaters and VOD on February 9th.
