Emma's Bliss
Emma's Bliss is a 2006 romantic tragic-comedy that takes place in contemporary rural Germany. The movie, directed by Sven Taddicken, is based on the novel Emmas Glück (now translated into English under the title Emma's Luck) by Claudia Schreiber.
Plot
Upon being informed that he is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer, Max, who works at a used car lot, steals over seventy thousand illegally gained euro (perhaps around $1 million) from Hans, his employer and best friend, and drives off in his Jaguar. Hans gives chase, but quits when it becomes too dangerous. Max crashes the roadside barrier at high speed, ending up in a small pig and poultry farm miles from anywhere. He is lifted unconscious from the wreck by the farmer, Emma, a strong woman who lives alone. She discovers the money, torches the car and tends to Max's injuries, which are not serious.
