"If you love Barbie, this movie is for you…" but "if you hate Barbie, this movie is for you" too!
 

In the first full-length trailer for Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie film, released Thursday, the plot of the movie is finally confirmed.
 

"To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you're a Ken."
 

While the abovementioned synopsis may still seem vague, the new clip shows Barbie (Margot Robbie) living her best life until strange things start happening, including developing "flat feet".
 

"You have to go to the real world," Kate McKinnon's character explains while holding up a stiletto and a Birkenstock. "You can go back to your regular life, or you can know the truth about the universe. The choice is now yours."
 

It turns out, however, that she doesn't get a choice. So, she and Ryan Gosling's Ken leave the comforts of Barbie Land. 
 

And as you'd expect, the real world is not so great.
