CGiii Comment
Competent.
Fairly predictable.
The usual predicament of a married man facing his gay demon.
Rather shallow - simply told from the perspective of the wife and the children - there is no real depth and the boyfriend really does deserve a good slap.
Worth a look...for a comparison with American productions of the same ilk.

The(ir) Blurb...
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 behavior 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.
