Dream Doll

A man with a moustache and beige mac wonders why even the caterpillars have a better sex life than he! It's just not fair so walking past a sex shop one afternoon, he decides to improvise and buy a blow-up lover. Now getting it up isn't as easy as he'd imagined so a bicycle pump is drafted in to help. Finally inflated (with helium by the looks of things) we enter into what looks like a bit of a spoof of the "Red Balloon" from 1956, and boy does this girl persist! Home, outdoors, work - he cannot shake her off! He can, however, lose his job and outrage the neighbours in the park when he takes her for a walk and into the path of some thugs who rather brutally solve his problem for him. Or do they actually just make matters worse? It's quite funny for a few minutes, this - it's an astonishing the array of people who have a doll of their own, and we can only marvel at what they get up to with them. A fetishist's wet dream and an ultimately dreamy denouement?
