 Jochen Wenzel, a young teacher, married with two kids, one day surprisingly falls in love with a young male colleague, Tom Leuthner and they begin an unusual affair (= "Eine aussergewöhnliche Affäre"). While Ina, Jochen s wife, worries about Jochen s distanced behaviour without having a clue of her husband s affair, Jochen and Tom seriously fall for each other. Torn between his family and his new love, Jochen has to make a decision. A great movie with some really gifted German leading actors. The love between the two men is portrayed sensitively without becoming too sentimental and at the same time without being criticized. A great compliment to director Maris Pfeiffer, who made the movie a celebration of beautiful pictures.
