Sci-fi romance starring Maren Eggert and Dan Stevens. In order to get funding for her research, academic Alma takes part in an unusual study: she is paired with a robot, named Tom, who is designed to embody her "ideal man". Initially unsettled by her new partner, Alma reacts with hostility, but over time her feelings unexpectedly evolve.
Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens gives a sparkling performance in this bittersweet German-language romantic drama. The British actor shows off his linguistic and comedic talents playing Tom, a humanoid robot finely calibrated to be the dream man of scientist Alma (Maren Eggert). Though doubting of his merits, she reluctantly agrees to test Tom out for three weeks, and determines not to fall under his mechanical spell - even as he tidies her flat, draws her baths and makes her breakfast. Director and co-writer Maria Schrader follows up her Emmy award-winning stint on Netflix series Unorthodox with an offbeat love story that's both witty and charming, yet anchored in the reality that loneliness and longing are a vital part of the human experience.
