Collecting Dolls: From Childhood Toy To Adult Private Obsession

This is an intimate look at the emotional, financial, and relational complexities of a secret world: adult doll collecting. We meet individuals driven by compulsive devotion to their collections, from women who spend their life savings on Barbies as an escape from loneliness and depression to a male artist whose "robot" dolls and real doll figures serve as a substitute for real-life relationships.
