News of her illness spreads through town, and everyone whose life has been touched by Bianca brings flowers or food to the Lindstrom home. Her prognosis isn't good, and Lars announces Bianca would like to be brought home. One morning, Lars discovers Bianca is unresponsive, and she's rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Their conversation seems to reach Lars and his dependence on Bianca begins to shift. Gus says that he never should have left Lars alone with their father, and he apologizes for being selfish. Gus gives several examples, including their father keeping them and taking care of them, even though he didn't know how. Gus says he knew it when he began doing the right things for the right reasons, even when it hurt. Lars also asks Gus when he knew he had become a man and what being a man means. She replies she would never expect that of him and tells him she hopes one day to find a man as faithful as him. The two spend a pleasant evening, though Lars is quick to remind Margo he could never cheat on Bianca. When Margo reveals to Lars she has broken up with her boyfriend, Lars agrees to go bowling with her while Bianca attends a school board meeting. Due to the town’s acceptance of Bianca, Lars finds himself interacting more with people. Sympathetic to Lars, the town inhabitants react to the doll as if she were real, and Bianca soon finds herself involved in volunteer programs, getting a makeover from the local beautician, and working part-time as a model in a clothing store. During this time, Margo has begun to date another co-worker, which silently bothers Lars.Įventually, Lars introduces Bianca as his girlfriend to his co-workers and various townspeople. Dagmar explains to Gus and Karin that Lars’ delusion is a manifestation of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed, and that they need to assist with Lars' therapy by continuing to treat Bianca as if she was real.
While Dagmar diagnoses Bianca with low blood pressure, she urges Lars to come in with Bianca for weekly treatments, during which Dagmar will attempt to analyze Lars and get to the root of his behavior. Gus and Karin play along with Lars’ delusion, but, concerned about his mental health, also convince Lars to take Bianca with him to Dagmar, a family doctor who is also a psychologist. Lars treats the doll as a live human being, asking if Bianca can stay in Gus and Karin's guest room, as she and Lars are religious and do not want scandal about their relationship. The pair are startled to discover that Bianca is actually a lifelike doll that Lars ordered from an adult website. One evening, Lars happily announces to Gus and Karin that he has a visitor whom he met online, a wheelchair-mobile missionary of Brazilian and Danish descent named Bianca. A colleague at his office job, Margo, likes him, but Lars is impervious to Margo’s attempts to be friendly. Lars is pathologically shy interacting with or relating to his family or co-workers is very difficult for him. The inheritance has been divided between the brothers: Lars lives in the converted garage, while Gus and his pregnant wife Karin live in the house proper. As an awkward adult, Lars feels guilt that his birth coincides with his mother's death and he seeks to resolve these conflicting feeling of love and loss. Gus left town as soon as he could support himself, returning only to inherit his half of the household when their father died. His mother died when he was born, causing his grief-stricken father to have been a distant parent to Lars and his older brother, Gus. Lars Lindstrom lives a secluded life in a small Wisconsin town.
