The blockbuster film "Barbie," which dominated cinema screens in 2023, is set to make its debut on Chilean open television this Saturday, June 27. The highly anticipated movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, will air on TVN at 10:45 PM.

Before the "Barbie" premiere, the public television channel will broadcast a lineup of animated films, including "Madagascar" at 3:30 PM and its sequel "Madagascar: Escape to Africa" at 5:15 PM. This will be followed by the family drama "The Reason to Be."

In the film, Margot Robbie portrays Stereotypical Barbie. Her character embarks on a journey of self-discovery after experiencing an unprecedented existential crisis. Despite living in a seemingly perfect world, Barbie grapples with a lack of identity, thoughts of mortality, and unsettling physical changes like cold shower water and burnt toast, which disrupt her flawless existence. The central question becomes: why is Barbie unhappy in her perfect life?
