English Version | Lars and the Real Girl

What if one day you fell in love with a doll? What if one day relationships with non-human entities, digital systems, non-flesh and bone anatomies, artificial intelligence, were mainstream instead of underground? There lack no movies about these forbidden (yet unlikely) loves. What if…? Would we miss touch, warmth, softness, empathy? Yes, we would miss touch, warmth, softness and empathy. But that does not hinder our ability to be bold in make-up to then traces the lines for that fetish. Creative direction by Kai Kilian. Photography by Tanja Tremel. Hair and make-up by Carsten Richert.
