When Lars introduces his new girlfriend Bianca, a life-size
doll, to his community, everyone accepts her for his sake. This is a wonderful and charming comedy-drama about the power
of individual and community goodness, 'a moral fable exploring kindness,
understanding, love and the acceptance of human diversity'. |
