Overview
With a deep yearning for the perfect partner, Simon, a socially withdrawn man, applies to a futuristic matchmaking agency with a highly advanced algorithm. Things get complicated when Simon meets Hannah, a woman with the exact same ideal features he described in the examination room, down to the specific detail of a birthmark. Shocked yet intrigued, he strikes up a romantic connection with her. Unable to extract more information about his result, Simon must soon choose between pursuing an organic, real-life relationship with Hannah or putting his faith back in the numbers and waiting for his scientifically calculated match.
