Meet Lars... Lars is a loveable, lonely, delusional man whose emotional baggage has kept him from fully embracing life. After years of solitude, though, he has fallen in love with Bianca – a life-size sex doll he’s bought on the Internet. His friends and family are stunned at first because he finally has found someone, and puzzled later because Lars is treating Bianca as though she were alive. And that is the plot of the upcoming Lars and the Real Girl, and indie opening on Oct. 12 starring Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson) that follows the emotional journey of Lars and the people who love him.
