AN UNUSUAL AFFAIR (Eine Aussergewöhnliche Affäre) (2002) (Alemania) (Maris Pfeiffer) (Lenguaje: Alemán) (Subtítulos: Inglés archivo .srt)
"Tom is young, attractive and open about his sexuality and Jochen finds himself confused by his intense attraction to Tom . ."
In "An Unusual Affair' (Eine Aussergewöhnliche Affäre)" Jochen Wenzel (Hans Werner Meyer), is a young teacher, married to Ina (Tatjana Blacher) also a teacher and they have two children. The couple have known each other since childhood and their marriage is one of comfortable companionship but lacks a spark of passion. Jochen and Ina work in the same school.
One day the Wenzel's host a summer lawn party and among the guest that Ina invited is a new biology teacher at their school Tom Leuthner (Matthias Walter). Tom is young, attractive and open about his sexuality. The moment that the two men shake hands there is an instant bolt of chemistry and attraction between them. At first Jochen finds himself confused by his intense attraction to Tom. Jochen had a brief gay relationship before his marriage and had put that part of himself aside and never discussed it with anyone including his wife.
Working together it is inevitable that the two men find themselves in close proximity and they become mates on the school soccer team. This proximity is ripe ground for the attraction between them to grow. On an out of town school trip the men take the opportunity to be alone and consummate their attraction for each other and begin an affair. Jochen finally finds that he has fallen in love with his young colleague and as they both seriously fall for each other their affair intensifies.
Ina is unaware of her husband's past (in which Jochen had had the homosexual experience) but notices the changes in Jochen's behavior. While she worries about Jochen's distanced behaviour she does not have a clue of her husband's affair.
Soon Jochen finds himself torn between his family life and his love for Tom and when one of Jochen's pupils witnesses the two men kissing. The affair suddenly explodes into the life of his family, his professional life and the public domain.
Jochen is faced with not only publicly acknowledging his love for Tom but with making a decision crucial to his family, himself and his love for Tom. That decision will determine the path that the rest of his life will take . . .
The script refreshingly and simply presents with objectivity and sensitivity a beautiful love between two human beings and that portrayal is presented without judgment or social commentary that the love is between two men. The performances by Hans Werner-Meyer as Jochen, Tatjana Blacher as his wife and Matthias Walter as Tom Leuthner are outstanding.
