There’s something wonderfully childlike about Stevens here as he dials down his natural charisma ever so slightly while still understanding why he would be a model for a perfect male partner.

Im your man 2021 driver#

No one wants a partner who breaks down how the likelihood of a car accident improves if the driver adjusts her chair a bit. And yet the dynamic feels almost too perfect right from this rom-com set-up. It's all a façade. The couples are holograms and Tom is an android, specifically designed to meet all of Alma’s needs. Beautiful couples dance in the background as Tom woos Alma. Tom meets Alma at an event that looks designed to heighten romantic feelings. Her boss Roger (Failou Seck) encourages her to participate in a daring new project regarding human companionship in order to obtain more funding for her work and because, well, she’s the only single candidate, and the project? It's testing out an android boyfriend.Ī suspiciously cheery facilitator (the great Sandra Hüller) introduces Alma to Tom ( Dan Stevens of “ The Guest” and “Downtown Abbey” fame, speaking German with a slight British accent because Alma likes “exotic” men but not too exotic), who is a dream guy. Her ex-partner Julian ( Hans Löw) still works in her field, adding to some melancholy, and her only real partner in life is her father ( Wolfgang Hübsch), who is succumbing more to dementia every day. It’s also kind of a lonely profession, especially lately for Alma. An archaeologist at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Alma has the kind of job that gives her unique expertise in how people have (and haven’t) changed over generations of human existence.

Maren Eggert, an actor prize winner at Berlin, plays Alma, a worker at the kind of museum that struggles to find funding (which is basically all museums in 2021).
