Plot Lars is a shy guy, real shy. Living in the garage near the house he co-owns with his married brother, he shuts himself away shunning human contact. One day he buys a rubber doll, a very realistic one, and introduces her to his brother and his wife and his guest/girlfriend. Sensibly, they take him to the doctors who says he is going threough some sorrt of delusional crisis and the best thing for them is to play along, and pretty soon the whole village is playing along.
Comments An offbeat film, this is both charming, poignant and often very funny. Taking a sideways look at human contact, a chunk of suspension of dibelief is needed, but as it comes along as a modern fable that isn't a problem. We know how this film is going to end (to a degree at any rate) but the journey to get there is wonderful
