A true love story: Alma is not interested in love. Not even in "butterflies in the stomach". Alma, an antiquities researcher at a renowned museum, takes part in a study not entirely voluntarily. She is to live with a humanoid robot for three weeks with the aim of falling in love with it. The prototype Tom is delivered to her free of charge by the company Terranaut.
However, love is out of the question. Tom's programming is based on the desires of the average German woman, and Alma is not one of them. Tom's more or less imaginative attempts to conquer Alma fail. But the more time they spend together, the more Tom is able to adapt his algorithm to Alma's wishes. He becomes more humorous, more relaxed and less obvious in his approach: he becomes someone Alma likes.
But isn't love for a robot just a bleak soliloquy, a desperate attempt to escape loneliness?
