An exploration of the many failures of human communication: A story that could only be the product of a materialistic Western culture.
Here the mental illness symptomatic of loneliness is writ large: A man transfers his affections and needs to a plastic sex doll. Pornography, the objectification of women, paranoia and fear of-intimacy are contrasted with genuine human interactions in a tale both extremely funny and intensely moving. This is a film about growing up and learning right from wrong; saying that this is difficult in an immature culture.
This movie is not merely about tolerance but true acceptance, since the doll is not a threat to anyone but an unreasoned attempt to gain love. That the small community here eventually rallies round is a paean to kithship, as such, and to true Christian values, in particular.
