abstract:The Princess and the Warrior (, 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.
