Einfache Leute plot

40-year-old swim teacher Henrik (Klaus J. Behrendt) is married to Betta (Barbara Auer) and has a nearly grown son, Sebastian (Tom Schilling). When childhood friend Lutz (Oliver Bässler) shows up, Henrik is overtaken by his past. The two used to be not only swimming buddies but also lovers, until Henrik decided to conform and hide his gay nature. His life is now turned upside down: he is determined to hide his homosexuality from his family, but this does not go well for long.
