Des nouvelles de la planète mars
- Comedy
Philippe Mars wants to please everyone. He wants to be a good father, a friendly ex-husband, a helpful colleague and an understanding brother. Unfortunately, his little world goes out of its planned orbit. His son becomes a hardcore vegetarian, his daughter a compulsive swot, whilst his sister exhibits giant paintings of their naked parents. At the office he must face the rampages of his mentally unstable colleague Jerôme who one night turns up at his door with a young woman in tow who has just been released from a clinic.
News from Planet Mars is a 2016 French comedy about Philippe Mars, a well-meaning man juggling the demands of fatherhood, friendship, and family loyalty—until his carefully ordered world spirals into chaos. When his son turns vegetarian, his daughter becomes obsessively studious, and his sister creates provocative artwork, Philippe finds himself caught between competing loyalties and unexpected crises. The film explores how good intentions can unravel when life refuses to follow the plan.
