503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

Directed by Tom Tykwer, Germany, 1998 This is the story of young Lola and her boyfriend Manni. In the space of 20 minutes, they must come up with 100,000 deutsche marks to pay back a seedy gangster, who will be less than forgiving when he finds out that Manni incompetently lost his cash to an opportunistic vagrant. Lola, confronted with one obstacle after another, rides an emotional roller coaster in her high-speed efforts to help the hapless Manni, attempting to extract the cash first from her double-dealing father and then by any means necessary. From this point nothing goes right for either protagonist, but just when you think you've figured out the movie, the director introduces a series of brilliant existential twists that boggle the mind.. original version german; english subtitles
