First, I have to say what the two main characters do not only to them but also to loved ones around them that makes me feel uncomfortable. Agree that the direction of the film is about Marc, a father-to-be, realizing the problem with his sexual orientation which leads to him starting cheating and hiding it from Bettina, Marc's wife. After a period of secrecy, the development in the relationship between Marc and Kay increased along with Bettina's suspicions. In the end, everything fell apart and Marc's family fell apart, and Kay had to change jobs due to his identity being revealed. It's a pretty sad ending, but that doesn't mean it made me cry. For first thing, Marc and Kay actually had an cheating. I don't think it's understandable for two gay people to have this cheating. Don't say I'm a homophobic, what I want to say is that CHEATING IS CHEATING, regardless of sexual orientation, CHEATING is unacceptable. But looking back, maybe the writer really wanted the viewer to feel this and condemn it. The second thing that bothers me is that the time of this kind of thing happens was when Marc was about to have a baby. OK, maybe because the wife was pregnant, she didn't really "meet" her husband, but with me preparing to be a father, I don't think Marc really has such an easy relationship with Kay. Maybe just a few times I can understand, but here the time it happened is very long, where is his responsibility as a father? Then, after Marc's child was born, he rethought about his relationship with Kay, he went to Kay's house in night and wanted to end this relationship, but after just one sentence: "What about me? I fell in love with you!!" and a hug, Marc completely broke down and accepted to continue it?? Is it possible that Marc's wife doesn't love Marc, why does he let everything go so easily?? I mean, she gave him everything, she tried to make everything normalized again. But Marc seem is not really care about it. I really can't understand that. In the end what took my tears away was the scene where Bettina angrily yelled at her husband. "I can't even be jealous of him!" , a line that really conveys the anger, helplessness, and pain of a woman who loves her husband wholeheartedly. And Marc was realize what he did, so they just give freedom for another. Unlike movies with very high ratings like Brokeback Mountain, CMBYN, ... when the woman is brought out as the background for the story, not really fighting for her rights, even after she fight for what she think it was right, her husband thread her that he could beat her up :))). Fairly, Bettina was created as a character that influenced the film's plot, a character empowered to fight for what she wasn't supposed to get, for what she was deserved. I highly appriciated this part of the script. In the end, the movie really does convey some messages and lessons for myself, so I give it a 7/10.
