Lola and her boyfriend, Manni, are couriers in a drug deal. Manni made the exchange and had the money, 100,000 Deutsche Marks. Lola was supposed to pick him up but didn't make it on time. While making his way back the money is stolen from him. Now Lola has 20 minutes to get to Manni and find 100,000 Deutsche Marks. It actually goes through the story several times showing different possibilities of what could happen.
It took me a bit to get used to the subtitles since I don't speak German. After that I really enjoyed the movie.
To me the movie is about showing what a difference a few seconds can make. I thought the animated clips were a little cheesy. I think they should have done something
with them that they couldn't do or show in live action like a visualization of Lola's emotions. Other than that I thought the writting and directing were pretty good. I definitely recommend the movie. I'll give it 3.5 out of 4.
