Planet Single by the acclaimed Slovenian-born director Mitja Okorn (Letters to Santa) has already been hailed by the press as “one of the best Polish romantic comedies of the last 20 years”. It is a rare case of a commercial and critical success.
Tomek (Maciej Stuhr) is one of the top celebrities in the country, the host of a controversial and exceptionally popular TV show. Women want to meet him, men want to be like him. Ania (Agnieszka Więdłocha), a teacher at a music school, is a charming, romantic and slightly old fashioned girl looking for Mr. Perfect on an internet dating site.
Their paths cross on Valentine's Day at a trendy bar where Ania is hoping to meet the love of her life. Struck by her romanticism, the showman asks her to help him make his show even more entertaining by dating men she meets via the Planet Single website, so he can satirize various types of men that women meet online. Her bizarre internet dates turn out to be an instant hit. Everything is to change unexpectedly one day when Ania actually meets Mr. Right… or so she believes.
