“A man with a good warranty is hard to find.”

ComedyRomanceScience Fiction

When image consultant Frankie Stone is hired by a tech company to teach a scientist’s “Ulysses Robot” how to be a man, she winds up developing very real feelings for the faux human.

A charmingly retro sci-fi rom-com that playfully explores what it means to be human. It’s a sweet, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful exploration of love and connection, wrapped in a delightful 80s package.
