A careless mother is going on a date with another fan and, in order to brighten up her daughter's loneliness, leaves her alone with a pink doll - the same doll that "wanders around the city and why it is vain to destroy little children". The girl considers the doll to be very realistic, therefore she associates it with herself, and herself with her mother.

"Pink Doll" creates the illusion of a spellbound fall into the abyss of children's dreams, fantasies and nightmares.
