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.
How It Feels

A film that treats profound loneliness and emotional withdrawal with surprising warmth and humor, finding unexpected grace in how a small town embraces an unconventional path to healing. It's both absurd and deeply moving, funny without ever becoming cruel.
