The leading lady for this movie, Jördis Triebel, is being billed as Germany's Amelie, so the movie must be good, right? Not bad, but not what I expected. True, Emma lives in a pig farm, but you wouldn't expect Amelie to play with a cute pig, then slit its throat when it least expected it, would you?Anyway, story is about Max, a used car salesman, who finds out he has terminal pancreatic cancer. He steals his boss' ill-gotten wealth and was caught red-handed. With his boss giving chase, Max intentionally drives the Jaguar off the road and crashes downhill. Emma hears the commotion, and saves Max from the wreckage. Seeing the huge pile of money, she takes it and burns the car. Love develops between the two, and even after Max finds out that Emma took the money, he later forgives her.
Instead of using the money for his hospitalization, he uses it to pay off all her debts.Fast forward to the last scene where Emma and Max are enjoying a nice day under a tree. She takes out the hidden knife, and you can guess the rest. I guess it's better to go quick and blissful, rather than slow and painful.
