Mars & Venus starts where other romantic comedies end: Ida and Mathias have found each other, the church bells have fallen silent, and the wedding gown has been auctioned off on E-bay. The young couple 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. For what is happiness really? A career? A new bathroom? A sailing boat? Casual sex? A new boy/girlfriend? Or is happiness what you already have? 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?"
