Film: Run Lola Run
Director: Tom Tykwer
Duration: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Cast: Franka Potente, Moritz Bleibtreu, Herbert Knaup, Heino Ferch
Plot: Berlin criminal Manni delivers smuggled loot for his boss but accidentally leaves the 100,000 Deutsche Mark payment in a subway car. Given 20 minutes to come up with the money, he calls his girlfriend, Lola, who sprints through the streets of the city to try to beg the money out of her bank manager father and get to Manni before he does something desperate.
After this telephone call, the rest of the film is divided into three ‘runs’ by Lola, in each of which she tries to obtain the money and save Manni. Each run starts from the same situation, but develops differently and has a different outcome. Each run has brief flash-forward sequences that show how the lives of the people that Lola bumps into develop after the encounter.
