Lola's boyfriend Manni has to pay a criminal colleague 100,000 marks. Unfortunately he is not the brightest of lads and manages to leave the money on the train (Doh !). He has twenty minutes before the deadline and rings Lola for help. So Lola has twenty minutes to travel across town and get 100,000 Marks or else its curtains for Manni. What you get is three slightly different versions of her journey, each with a different outcome. The movie is played out against a pumping techno/trance soundtrack and comes across as an extended MTV type video, ie glossy, without much substance. On the first viewing I was quite intrigued as to how the story would change, and which characters she would encounter, as Lola brushes past other people you get 'flashbacks' of their lives to come, one women wins the lottery while another has an affair with a work mate.
The DVD is presented in 5.1 & 2 channel sound (German & English) with a Music video & cast/director details.
Overall an interesting concept let down by lack of depth. One for a nights rentals.
