A man and a woman live in a village not far away from Berlin. They couple is inseverable; they have loved each other since they were children. They are both in their thirties: he is a welder and an auxiliary member of the local fire brigade; she works a few hours a week as a cleaning lady and sings in a choir. One day, the man goes on a business trip and, after a night of drinking, he finds himself in another woman’s apartment. This fling doesn’t change his love for his wife, but, try as he might, he cannot seem to find his way back to his old life. Official Competition Berlin 2006.
