With her red hair and dark clothing, Rosie comes whirling into Don’s life. Her looks and the way she dresses aren’t to impress anyone. She is a barmaid in the evenings, is always late for everything, is a vegetarian, does not eat according to any preset meal system and she drinks and smokes unceasingly. Rosie Jarman is the most unsuitable partner Don can find. Like every other romantic comedy, opposites had to attract, and that is what happens. He publishes the questionnaire online, and offline he distributes to women who are participating in a speed dating event and at a singles party, both of which doesn’t bring the desired results. This thoughtfully made questionnaire is designed to filter out the unsuitable candidates: women who are not punctual, women who smoke, vegetarian women or women who have unhealthy life choices in general. To find a suitable wife Don embarks on the journey of ‘The Wife Project.’ To avoid the drama of incompatibility and ineffective dating, Don prepares a questionnaire.
