The film acts as a fairytale in the sense that it has no real ending. Throughout the film, three different scenarios occurred which involved Lola and her boyfriend, Manni. It is through these scenarios that we were given different outcomes, not once was one suggesting that an actual event had occurred. The fairytale aspect comes into play at this point. Lola, before her death, views ways in which she could have prevented herself or her loved ones from getting hurt. In the first scenario, which may or may not have been fictional, Lola was killed, while in the second scenario, her boyfriend, Manni, was killed. Finally, the perfect scenario end up being the glamorous ending which the movie wanted to project using them of love in between death sequences, showing the two protagonists lying in bed after having had intercourse previously, and asking one another whether or not they truly loved each other and what would happen if the other were to die. In reality, there is no ending to this story, as we are not able to ever understand what actually happened. However, it is implied that the entire story was a dream, or at least, a daydream in Lola’s head, displaying her desires.
