    Plastic Love

    Patricia is a shop window dummy with attitude. A career-minded, no-nonsense mannequin, who is seriously annoyed when she’s donated from a high street store to a run down charity shop. Unable to take the shame, Patricia considers suicide until a new male mannequin called Ken arrives and Patricia realises theirs more to life than brand names and trendy bras.
