A kinetic, formally inventive thriller about fate and choice, where a woman races against time through Berlin across three branching timelines to save her boyfriend from disaster.

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. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run.
