Lola is a young woman on a mission. She's got 20 minutes to find 100,000 Deutschmarks and deliver it to her boyfriend, Manni, to replace a lost delivery that he owes to a local crime boss. If she fails, he'll certainly be killed. Through sheer force of will, and a whole lot of cardio, can Lola do the impossible?

Added DiffLines:
* {{Motif}}: Circles and spinning. The camera pans around Lola in a circle. Lola races down a circular staircase at the beginning of each chapter. All of the clocks are analog, with circular faces. Lola gambles on a roulette wheel. In the opening credits, each character rotates in place for four mugshot-like photographs.
Added DiffLines:
* RaceAgainstTheClock: Manni's meeting with Ronnie is at noon. The whole movie takes place during the 20 minutes that Lola has to find the money. We cut to ticking clocks constantly.

''Lola rennt'' (known as ''Run Lola Run'' in English-speaking countries) is a 1998 German film directed by Creator/TomTykwer and starring Creator/FrankaPotente and Creator/MoritzBleibtreu. Unique and varied, the film is difficult to assign to any specific genre. Instead, think of this movie as a video game style exploration of love and fate that blends animation sequences with live footage, except that it's techno, fast, and features a red-haired German woman who spends most of the movie running.

** After Lola [[spoiler:robs the bank]], she's confronted by a line of police with weapons drawn. But after several seconds of staring at her, they wave her aside, assuming that they're after someone still inside. Lola is allowed to simply walk away [[spoiler:with the stolen cash]].
** Each [[{{Blipvert}} montage of photographs showing the subsequent fates of the various bystanders is accompanied by the sound of camera shutters. During the final shot of Lola and Manni, this sound effect plays, but instead of showing their future, the film just freezes, leaving their fate unknown.

* StupidCrooks: Manni is a pretty incompetent crook. His whole plan to deliver 100,000 Deutschmarks to his boss was to get a ride on the back of his girlfriend's moped. which is about as rinky-dink as it gets. When that doesn't pan out, he accidentally leaves the money on the train. His next plan is to rob a grocery store for the money in broad daylight, which immediately gets him caught if he goes through with it.
