Living Dolls is an intriguing documentary that follows the lives of four adults whose love for dolls has become an integral part of their identities. The film takes viewers on a meandering journey through the lives of Mike, Michael, David, and Debbie, each with a unique connection to their doll collections.
Mike is an adult male who reconnects with his childhood love of Barbie dolls years after discarding them in order to hide his true self during his closeted adolescence. His parents are supportive and welcoming, while his boyfriend—and eventually the entire Barbie convention—are all accepting of his peculiar interest. When asked how he manages to find joy in such simple playthings, Mike replies that it helps him combat feelings of loneliness from being rejected by others in the past.
Michael is an older gentleman whose home doubles as a workshop for disassembling dolls into skeletal metal figures. For him, the process is therapeutic and gives him a deep sense of satisfaction; he shares moments of intimate connection with these eerily lifelike creations. At an annual meeting of like-minded enthusiasts, Michael finds understanding and acceptance among people who share his passion.
