‘Plastic’ is a darkly comedic crime story about a man who falls in love with a sex doll, but it has a surreal, almost magical realism streak. The humor is incredibly bleak and comes from the protagonist’s utter dedication to his bizarre relationship while dealing with assassins and criminals.
It’s not fantasy in the traditional sense, but the central premise is so absurd it feels like a twisted fairy tale. The comedy is in the deadpan acceptance of the impossible. It’s a unique blend of romance, crime, and pitch-black humor.
