Filming of Hirokazu Koreeda’s Air Doll wrapped a few days ago, and Yahoo! Japan Movies has posted a 5-minute making-of clip for for the movie with lots of Doona Bae goodness.

Bae plays a life-size air doll kept in the retro apartment of Hideo (Itsuji Itao), but over time she grows a heart of her own. One day she cheerfully fixes up her outfit and decides to enjoy a walk outside alone. She eventually meets a video store clerk named Junichi (Arata Iura) and secretly falls in love. She hatches a plan to get a part-time job in the store alongside him, but an unexpected turn of events throws her fragile existence into turmoil. Through her subsequent journey of self-discovery she explores what it really means to be human.

Did I mention she can float?

Asmik Ace will be releasing Air Doll in Japanese theaters this year and Fortissmo Films is handling distribution in the rest of the world.
