Unorthodox director Maria Schrader fuses science fiction and contemporary romance in modern life in the midst of algorithms. In order to obtain research funds for her work, Alma is persuaded to participate in an extraordinary study. For three weeks, she has to live with Tom, whose sole purpose is to be the perfect life partner for her. Tom is a humanoid robot, whose artificial intelligence is created solely to make her happy. A tragicomic tale about the questions of love, longing and what makes a human being human, I’m Your Man is loosely based on the story “Ich bin dein Mensch” by Emma Braslavsky.
