In order to obtain research funding for her work, she is persuaded to take part in an unusual study. For three weeks, she is to live with a humanoid robot tailored to her character and needs, whose artificial intelligence is designed to be the perfect life partner for her. Alma meets Tom (Dan Stevens), a highly developed machine in human form, created solely to make her happy.... “I am your human” tells of an encounter that may await us in the near future. It is a melancholy comedy about questions of love, longing and what makes people human.
