MARS OG VENUS
MARS & VENUS
Mars & Venus starts where other romantic comedies end: Ida and Mathias have found each other.
The young couple now has two young children and demanding jobs. Ida is the ideal woman. She’s
still as hot as she was when she was twenty. She is an ambitious architect and loving mum. She takes
a great deal of responsibility both at home and at work. It turns out to be far from easy to find
time for everything when she gets promoted. Mathias is the ideal man. He’s funny, handsome in a
shabby way and a great dad. Unfortunately he’s also a bit sloppy, and never quite seems to finish
things he initiates, as renovating the bathroom for example. In addition, he buys a sailing boat without
asking for permission… Ida and Mathias live in separate universes as they try to figure out
what they really want in life. Mars & Venus is a story everyone can relate to – and might even make
some take a moment to draw their breath and think: «What on earth are we doing?»
Eva Dahr (1958) has received many awards for her short films. Dahr made her debut
as a feature film director in 1985 with Burning Flowers, which she co-directed
with Eva Isaksen. In addition she has been commissioning editor in The
Norwegian Film Institute between 1998 and 2002. Eva has a unique eye as filmmaker,
and she has a special warmth and suppleness in her films. She has co-written
this film together with Andreas Markusson.
