In a vibrant and chaotic city, a young woman, played by Franka Potente, finds herself in a race against time to save her boyfriend, who has fallen into the clutches of a dangerous gangster. It all begins when her boyfriend gets into financial trouble and, desperate, decides to steal a substantial amount of money. However, the plan doesn’t go as expected, and now he has only 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks, or his life will be in serious danger.
As the tension builds, our protagonist takes to the streets with unwavering determination. The film explores multiple realities and possible outcomes through an innovative use of editing and nonlinear storytelling. Each time the young woman fails in her mission, the story rewinds to the beginning, allowing her to try again, but with a twist: each attempt reveals how small changes in decisions can lead to dramatic consequences and unexpected encounters.
With electrifying visual aesthetics and a heart-pounding soundtrack, the story is not only about a physical race but also an emotional journey that raises questions about life, love, and fate. The protagonist, with her boundless energy, reminds us that every second counts and that sometimes, triumph is not measured solely by the outcome, but by the courage to fight until the end.
