Sinopsis
Based on the eponymous fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film. Barbie leads an ideal life in Barbieland, there everything is perfect, with parties full of music and color, and every day is the best day. But Barbie asks herself quite uncomfortable questions that do not fit with the idyllic world in which she and the other Barbies live. When Barbie realizes that she is able to rest her heels on the floor, and have flat feet, she decides to put on shoes without heels and travel to the real world, with the company of Ken.
Greta Gerwig is an American actress, writer, and director who was known for her performances in small independent movies before embarking on a successful career as a filmmaker. Gerwig made her debut as a solo writer and director with the semiautobiographical “Lady Bird” (2017), receiving Academy Award nominations for both her screenplay and her direction, the movie being nominated for best picture.
