Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. She has 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni.

As a cinephile who takes ratings of films very seriously, i can comfortably place this as my 3rd favourite movie ever. So, what is there to love? A lot. The plot premise is quite simple, but it is made into a beautifully complex web of fa…
