A darkly comedic exploration of depression and marital dysfunction that uses the absurdist premise of a life-size doll as both a vehicle for redemption and social satire.

Suffering from depression and marital problems, Alex mistakenly orders a life-size doll, whom he names "Monique". With the help of Monique, Alex turns his life around; however she soon becomes the envy of his friends and wife.
