The Princess and the Warrior (German: Der Krieger und die Kaiserin, literally "The Warrior and the Empress") is a 2000 German drama film written and directed by Tom Tykwer with Franka Potente, star of his previous movie Run Lola Run (Lola rennt), in a leading role. It follows the life of Sissi, a psychiatric hospital nurse and Bodo (Benno Fürmann), an anguished former soldier who lapses into criminality, but allows other characters (such as Bodo's brother Walter and select patients from the hospital) equal time for development. We see how Sissi's routine life is skewed by a near-death experience and her subsequent relationship with Bodo.
The film, like Run Lola Run, places great emphasis on fate and personal decisions, as well as the importance of escape. It is centered around four central events: the accident that first brings Bodo and Sissi together, the bank robbery, the roof scene, and the final resolution. Most of the story takes place in Wuppertal, Germany. The characters take late-night trips on the spectral overhead trains of the Schwebebahn Wuppertal.
The film begins with a letter to Sissi, a nurse in a psychiatric hospital, asking her for help in wrapping up the affairs LESS
