For three weeks, she must live with a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence designed to allow it to morph into that of her ideal life partner. Enter Tom, a machine in human form, created to make her happy.
From Director Maria Schrader (Unorthodox) comes a very humourous and thoughtful twist on The Stepford Wives, Weird Science, and films of that ilk.
