Jedes Jahr im Juni

Each year in June, Bavarian housemother Elke Richter visits family in Halle, in the GDR. There she meets family friend Gregor Pohl, an equally married carpenter, and starts a secret affair. After her family cease the annual visits due to the husband's promotion in the communist regime, the adulterous couple arranges to meet on 'spearte' holidays, as in Prague. After Gorbachev's glasnost leads to the fall of the Iron Curtain wall, everything changes, but Gregor chooses to emigrate to Canada.
