I watched it about 10 years ago, back to back with "Go Trabi Go!" which was a lot of fun.
The main plot is darker though. It concerns a teenage girl who escapes from her abusive stepfather. (There's a scene when he sprays her with freezing water from a shower head in the bathroom.) The girl escapes and meets a traveling pair of grown men, who are on their way to a girlfriend's house in the countryside. At first she thinks they are gay, but when they arrive she realizes they both have girlfriends there. At one scene in the movie one of the men makes love to his girl while she's on the phone, a scene that evidently influenced my behavior years later...
Somewhere along the way the stepfather, who's either police or ex-military, catches up with the two men in a hotel or something. In the ensuing fight, the stepfather is killed and the men become wanted fugitives. As the film progresses and they continue to evade capture, they are mistaken for heavily armed dangerous killers.
They are eventually able to put the girl on a plane to leave the country. Outside the airport, they are met by special forces police, who open fire on them and cut them down. Looking up from the tarmac, they see the plane take off with the girl, taking her to her new life and future, and the film ends.
Does anybody know what movie this is? I'm pretty sure it's German, pre-2000, and may have been before the Wall came down, I'm not sure.
