Match Me!
Sarah, a Viennese woman in her mid-twenties, turns to her spiritual
yoga community for help finding a “man for life”, while Johanna from Munich attends an Irish matchmaking festival in the hope
of finally being able to break out of her relationship patterns. Sampsa, a Finn in his mid-thirties, takes part in an arts-community
dating project in Helsinki called the Lover’s Matchmaking Agency, which provides a platform for unusual dates and aims to
prove that any person at any time can be the one. Sarah’s life changes radically after she accepts Jonas, the “suggestion”
of her yoga group, and moves to Lithuania to be with him. While Sampsa takes the game very seriously and experiences real
emotions, Johanna throws herself into her work after a less than successful dating experience in Ireland.
