Lost in Separation

With two kids, a house, a dog, and two fiftieth birthdays, Doris and Georg are the perfect middle-class Hamburg couple. That doesn't stop them from separating after nearly a quarter-century of marriage. As the couple attempt to analyze their past in joint therapy sessions, Doris's newfound freedom allows her to blossom in both her professional and personal life, while Georg's affair with a much younger doctoral student starts to fall apart. He's bothered by Doris's ability to thrive without him. Can he turn things around? Will Doris let him? And is that what both of them really want? (Filmfest München)
