Short description

Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. She has 20 minutes to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run.

What's left behind the scenes

The woman from whom Manny borrows the phone card is actually the mother of Moritz Bleibtroj – Monika Bleibtroj.
Tom Tykwer was bothered by the blank wall and asked production designer Alexander Männes to paint a portrait of actress Kim Novak as she appeared in Hitchcock's 'Vertigo'. Unfortunately, Alexander didn't remember what Kim looked like, so Tykwer suggested depicting her from the back. The painting was completed in 15 minutes.
Franke Potente had to go seven weeks without washing her hair. The reason was that the red dye in her hair was too sensitive to water.
The two phrases at the very beginning of the film (“The ball is round” and “The game lasts 90 minutes”) actually belong to the legendary German football coach Sepp Herberger.
The woman from whom Manny borrows a phone card is actually the mother of Moritz Bleibtreu – Monika Bleibtreu.
When Lola plays roulette, she gets the number 20. In fact, the film crew did not intend to arrange this outcome, but 20 came up during one of the first attempts.
The film opens with the voice of narrator Hans Petzsch. He is the most popular fairy tale narrator in Germany. Every German who listened to fairy tale records as a child recognizes his unique voice.
The glass clocks in the bank were broken by a small pebble fired from an air rifle.
It took a full five weeks to convince the management of the Berlin supermarket to allow a robbery scene to be filmed there.
