MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Lars and the Real Girl
Lars Lindstrom is a loveable introvert whose emotional baggage has kept him from fully embracing life. After years of what is almost solitude, he invites Bianca, a friend he met on the internet to visit him. He introduces Bianca to his brother Gus and his wife Karen, and they are stunned. They don't know what to say to Lars or Bianca--because she is a life-size doll, not a real person and he is treating her as though she is alive. They consult the family doctor Dagmar who explains this is a delusion he's created--for what reason she doesn't yet know but they should all go along with it. What follows is an emotional journey for Lars and the people around him.

She's a different kind of mail-order bride, this girl in Lars and the Real Girl.
For one thing, she actually arrives in a box, via UPS. And there's no language barrier, because she can't speak. But she is "anatomically correct," a feature highlighted on her XXX Web site.
