Nils turns 5 and gets to wish for whatever he wants in the toy store. And he knows exactly what he wants: A Barbie in a pink ball gown! Suddenly, dad doesn't want Nils to choose for himself at all. In the toy store, dad tries by all means to get Nils to choose a gun instead. Barbie-Nils and the Gun Problem highlights issues of identity and gender, courage and children's rights, but also the difficulty of being a parent, in this case a single father who wants to do everything right, but who in his efforts misses the most important thing – listening to his child's wishes.
