EVENTS UNFOLD OVER… the 20 minutes it takes for a young German woman to run through the streets and alleys of Berlin
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS TIME: After receiving a frantic call from her boyfriend, Lola literally runs to his aid in a series of three scenarios—each with a different outcome (for Lola and her BF, as well as the various individuals she encounters during her runs).
(APPROXIMATE) TIME THAT PASSES: Counting both the time before Lola gets the fateful call and how long it takes to present the resolution of each run, let’s say an average of: 25 MINUTES
SEMI-RELEVANT FACTOID: Colors are used as motifs in director Tom Tykwer’s philosophically rich film—with reds and yellows associated, respectively, with Lola and her boyfriend.
