Looking for love, hopeless romantic Alie allows her friend to set her up with a mystery man, leading to an unforgettable night.

After a series of unsuccessful dates and relationships, and with the encouragement of her best friend, Alie decides to get her love life back on track by trying something new. With the time and location of the date the only details at her disposal, she sets off to meet a complete stranger, but it does not take her long to realise that romance and connection can be just as spontaneous as they have been fleeting. Written and directed by Stephané Alexandre, romantic comedy The Perfect Knight (2022) conjures butterflies in stomachs and reignites the notion that love could be just around the corner.
