The iDol (film)

"The iDol" is a 2006 film from independent filmmaker Norman England.

A science fiction satire filmed entirely in Japan, "The iDol" tells the story of a Japanese collector who comes into possession of a figure with origins not of this world.

Ken is a mild-mannered man in his mid-twenties who like many his age has interests that stopped developing during adolescence. On a visit to a local toy collectors shop he acquires a rare alien action figure. Unexpectedly, Ken's world is turned inside out as the somewhat silly looking toy alters his life by benevolently giving him everything he has ever dreamed of, and then callously taking it all back.

Ken's immature desires and indecisive nature are pit against a collection of seemingly normal, yet equally misguided characters who are meant to illustrate how people are victims of a socially implanted drive for things not in their own best interests.
