Our modern life is largely designed by engineers. They like to invent and structure things and they are more at ease with figures and natural science than in relations with the opposite sex. Atanas, a Bulgarian computer engineer claims to have hacked love, but can he help lonely and shy engineers find real love and real happiness? As he tries to develop a scientific formula for the perfect relationship, he uses other engineers as his guinea pigs; teaches them his ideas and sends them out to test them in the real world. He guides his subjects with wireless transmitters during their set up meetings with potential candidates: beautiful young women.

My father Cesar thought I was going to take over his grill restaurant in Ecuador, but I decided to pursue art instead and went to Germany.

After years of no contact, saving the restaurant becomes our joint project.
