Three is a 2010 German drama film directed by Tom Tykwer. The film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. Hanna and Simon are in a passionless, long-term relationship. Soon after Simon's mother dies from advanced pancreatic cancer, he discovers that he has testicular cancer and must undergo surgery and chemotherapy. The night of his surgery, Hanna has a sexual encounter with a man called Adam, and Simon learns that he fathered a child seventeen years prior, although the woman opted for an abortion. Simon, who had assumed that either he or Hanna was... infertile, is assured that he should still be able to have children after his surgery. During his recovery, Simon and Hanna decide to finally wed. Shortly beforehand, Simon encounters Adam at the pool and begins an affair with him as well. The couple's separate affairs lead to greater happiness and sexual desire felt for one another. Adam, unaware that his two lovers are involved, develops feelings for them both.
