Three

Berlin, today. A very urban couple Hanna and Simon have lived together for years. Love, work, sex and daily life have meshed into combative harmony. Then Hanna meets Adam. And Adam meets Simon. Unexpectedly, all three fall in love. Everyone remains oblivious to the others’ affair. But the secret slowly begins to confuse all three lovers, and it threatens to rupture their fragile relationship. THREE is an investigation into the emotional life of a generation that is trying to reconcile new possibilities and old longings. “Tykwer seems at his most free here, leading his story in surprising directions that match the nolimits lives of his characters. At the same time, he allows himself moments of pure play with the form of the film, using all the visual and sonic sophistication he has developed in two decades of making films. It’s a delight to watch such smart eyes look at modern desire.” Cameron Bailey, Toronto FF
