The story revolves around a young girl named Amelka who becomes obsessed with being a Barbie doll. Amelka's parents are initially also under a spell that makes them think they are Barbie and Ken, but they eventually break free. However, Amelka remains under the spell. Amelka's behavior becomes increasingly doll-like, much to the concern of her parents.
As time passes, Amelka's obsession with being a Barbie doll grows stronger, causing her to behave strangely and insist on doing things that a real Barbie doll would do. Her parents try to intervene, but Amelka is resistant to their efforts.
Eventually, Amelka's grandmother is also turned into a Barbie doll, causing chaos in the household. Amelka's parents try to find a way to reverse the spell, but it seems that Amelka is too far gone.
In the end, Amelka's parents manage to break the spell by moving the magical Barbie box to the garage, freeing Amelka from her doll-like trance.
