Synopsis

A lonely young woman orders two life-size male dolls online, modeled after Make the Girl Dance's Greg Kozo and Pierre Mathieu. At first, the silent companions fill her home and seem to offer the affection she wants. Their lack of response gradually becomes impossible to ignore, however, and her desire for a family leads her to order a baby doll as well. After staging a pregnancy and discovering that her artificial partners cannot become real fathers, she abandons the dolls and throws them away.
