Simon is a decent sedate man in his thirties and lives in Wellington , New Zealand . He is married to an attractive woman, Pam. According to his own statements, he chose them carefully. After seven years of marriage, the sex life has fallen asleep and he is bored. He falls in love with the beautiful cellist Katrien - a friend of his wife. Katrien herself is married to the funky German Klaus, with whom she has children. She catches him inflagranti and the two separate. Klaus himself had also been bored in his marriage, which he openly reveals in a men's group, the Men's Club, in which Simon also participates. Because of their mutual circle of acquaintances, Katrien and Simon run into each other again and again and both fall in love. At first neither of them want an affair, but the attraction is so strong that they try to love each other, which initially fails because of Simon. When they realize that they both have to go to Germany on business, they make an appointment in Berlin. Simon moves into a room in the Westin Grand Berlin ( Unter den Linden ). When Simon and Katrien lie naked in the hotel bed, Pam appears surprisingly. With the help of his friend and a colleague at work, Katrien can barely be maneuvered into the next room unnoticed, from where she can hear Simon and Pam making love, which Katrien is very frustrated and humiliated. However, the wife Pam later notices that Simon and Katrien are having an affair. She flies back to Wellington angry. She later tells him that she wants the breakup.

Simon proposes to Katrien and confesses that he loves her. Both love each other physically. After that, Katrien tells him that she would not love him, only adore him. She was vulnerable and he was bored. She doesn't want a future together. Later a friend tells him that a number of couples have separated and Wellington calls the "Separation City" (English for: City of Separation) Simon's wife is now having an affair with Klaus and wants a divorce.

At the end of the film you can see Pam forgiving Simon. Katrien lives near Klaus and looks after the children. When Katrien is in Berlin on business, she wonders whether Simon would think of her sometimes.
