I also get the impression that when Marc stormed back to Kai's apartment (the scene where he breaks in on his now-abandoned apartment), he was going there in a determined spirit to make things right with Kai. How great that would've been to see.
I loved where Kai confessed his love for Marc to Marc's parents. Although the scene itself was very tense and uncomfortable, it was so honorable and courageous how he did this.

It would have been great to see, but I am, for better or worse, a realist, and I think it would not have lasted.
I haven't decided in my own mind what Marc expected to do when he went back to Kay's after Bettina left him. For sure (imo) they weren't ready for a mature, lasting relationship, Marc was ricocheting all over the place, from Kay to Bettina then back to Kay. Even at the very end of the film he still has so much to learn about himself, he has barely started. But there is hope, a great message for any film to deliver.
But yes, the scene when Kay tells Marc's parents he loves him - totally brave and sweet and lovely to hear him say that - and for Marc to hear it, although it just fucked Marc up even more than he already was!
Good to talk about this again...there are still a lot of things I haven't figured out, and I find that I'm still changing my mind about things after having all this time to think about it. And really, I think about this damn movie way too much!

I agree that marc and kay need more time and more events to pring them togather if marc found kay in his apartment it is not going to be the sweet life that jack and kay wanted they needed to go through more to end up togather

I really liked Freier Fall... but it did not affect me like Brokeback, I'm not sure why...? However, I've been really impacted by The Normal Heart and have pre-ordered the DVD due out next week. Matt Bomer and Mark Ruffalo were so beautiful in this film... as well as the remainder of the cast. If you've not seen I hope you will.

I think Kai was deeply in love with Marc but his lust for Marc did not make him gay, if I am understanding your comment (no punctuation, misspells and one run-on sentence are hard to read - just saying!). He was definitely gay before Marc. I agree with you that he was completely devoted and loyal to Marc.
Remember when he tried to confront Marc in that car scene on the side of the road? Yo, he was so upset! Like when he finally rolled down the window and started speaking, he sounded like he was about to start crying (saying no text, nothing, etc to Marc). LOL (kind-of). I imagine he had been home all pining away for Marc with tears in his eyes - just waiting by his phone for Marc to call or text. HA HA! Acting like a high-school girl. LOL!
