The ideal new "man" named Tom (Dan Stevens) in Alma's (Maren Eggert) life is in fact a robot. As Alma, a scientist at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, participates in a new study, Tom is the product of what has been determined to be her dream partner, built specifically for her.

However, Alma is cold to the idea at first, looking only to fulfill the base requirements of this study in order to secure funding she needs for her own project. Overtime, Tom persists in his efforts to woo Alma and slowly begins to win her over as she starts to develop genuine feelings for him.
