Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film tells the tale of a lovestory gone wrong. It focuses on an elderly woman, who browses through her old photos and decides to find her old lover. Inspired by her emotions she begins a road trip in a rental car and keeps revisiting moments from her past over the course of her journey. During her travels she seems overwhelmed by the challenge but she stays determined and refuses to give up. Finally she arrives at her destination but instead of the expected romantic happy end, she is confronted with a rather sobering twist – featuring the infamous provoking humor that Sixt is known for.
