Perfect Lover: A 'futuristic' kind of romance

MANILA, Philippines - The Woman Every Man Wants (Perfect Lover) is a science fiction comedy about a man who tries to create the woman of his dreams but doesn’t quite get what he bargained for.

It’s year 2025, and women are now in political and economic control of the world, with men reduced to menial labor or clerical work. Guy (Ryan Hurst) works in plastic fabrication. His career isn’t going well and he’s just been dumped by his girlfriend, who grew tired of trying to turn him into her ideal man.

Since sad and lonely guys are a dime a dozen, several firms manufacture humanoid robots that can be programmed to obey any instructions, and Guy decides a robot might work out better for him than a human being. He customizes his humanoid to look like Mary, a woman he wooed in Paris without success.

On the surface, “Mary” (Daniela Lunklewitz) seems to be Guy’s idea of the perfect woman — she’s beautiful, she cooks and cleans without complaint, doesn’t mind watching sports, and she’s willing to have sex as often as Guy would like. However, Guy soon finds himself falling in love with the humanoid — and Mary, being made out of plastic cannot return affection.
