Extremely shy Lars finds it impossible to make friends or socialize. His brother and sister-in-law worry about him, so when he announces that he has a girlfriend he met on the Internet, they are overjoyed. But Lars' new lady is a life-size plastic woman. On the advice of a doctor, his family and the rest of the community go along with his delusion.
Editor's Verdict
"Lars and the Real Girl is a poignant character study focused on community integration and coping mechanisms surrounding delusion. While it deals with themes of belonging that align loosely with Christmas spirit, the narrative has no intrinsic connection to the holiday. Setting, plot, and iconography are absent."
