A lighthearted 1980s sci-fi comedy that uses a domestic robot as a satirical lens on marriage, desire, and the fantasy of perfect companionship.

Enrico Melotti, a middle-aged businessman, has a difficult relationship with his wife, maid and secretary/lover. During a business trip to America, his friend Arturo shows him the key to solving all of his problems: Caterina, a female-looking robotic maid that does all domestic chores better than any human.
