When Lars Lindstrom (Ryan Gosling, Barbie) introduces his brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer) to his new friend Bianca, who he met on the internet, their immediate response is shock and disbelief. Has Lars, the sweet, socially challenged introvert gone completely mad?! They meet Bianca and see a doll, but Lars sees a friend. Bianca isn’t a real woman at all but a Real Doll! How will they explain this to the residents of the sleepy, religious Midwestern town they’ve grown up in?
