Synopsis:

Mads (Thure Lindhardt) moves into a house with his lovely girlfriend Marie (Tuva Novotny), when a sudden pang of doubt strikes him. Is this the meaning of life? Has he lived out all his dreams? Is he truly happy? Mads drops everything, moves away from Marie and throws himself into a desperate quest to live out his greatest dreams; a quest to find the meaning of life and the one and only. It's a quest that includes friends from the gang, Louise and Peter (Signe Egholm and Henning Valin), dates, a new and younger girlfriend (Rosalinde Mynster) break-ups, meetings with in-laws, nights on the town, frustrating hours working on the perfect screenplay, and an eternal search for a happy life. TRUTH ABOUT MEN is a moving and heartfelt dark comedy about men, the meaning of life, dreams, and love.

A colleague's sudden illness prompts a re-examination of life for TV serial "structure" guy Mads (Thure Lindhardt), after spending a decade on autopilot. Taking inspiration from his callow teenage goals ("Live your life as if it were a guitar solo," "Never grow old"), he dumps live-in girlfriend Marie (Tuva Novotny) and decides to write a profound screenplay and discover the woman of his dreams. Easier said than done. A series of bad dates looks to lead him down a path he's trod before -- until he opts to pursue 19-year-old wild thing Julie (Rosalinde Mynster), who reminds him of his high school dream girl. It's no surprise when the failure of their relationship throws him into a tailspin.

A self-involved screenwriter makes a mess of his relationships with women while learning that real life doesn't conform to classic narrative structure in the slick, shallow romantic comedy "Truth About Men," from Danish helmer Nikolaj Arcel.
