[subtitled version]
« Narrator: Man… probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of unanswered questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we think we know? Why do we believe anything at all? Countless questions in search of an answer… an answer that will give rise to a new question… and the next answer will give rise to the next question and so on. But, in the end, isn't it always the same question? And always the same answer?

« Herr Schuster: The ball is round, a game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory. Off we go!

Plots:
After a botched money delivery, Lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 Deutschmarks.
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. Lola has 20 min 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.
Lola’s boyfriend Manni works as a runner for a mobster and leaves a bag full of his employer’s money on a subway train. Frantic, he calls her and says that unless he can come up with the money in the next 20 minutes, he’ll have to rob a grocery store to get it. Lola heads to her father’s bank to see if he can help her. At this point, the film shows three possible outcomes of Lola’s attempt to get the money – not all of which necessarily result in a happy ending.
