Christian Petzold - Wolfsburg (2003)

Car salesman Phillip Wagner is driving along an asphalted dirt track used by the locals as a short cut to Wolfsburg. He is having an argument on the telephone with his fiancée when, suddenly, he runs over a child. He sees the child’s body in his rear-view mirror, hesitates, brakes, but does not get out.
Phillip Wagner stays right where he is in his life – and simply drives on. It looks as though Phillip might be lucky. The boy comes out of his coma and the police are looking for another car rather than his. Phillip Wagner’s life continues. It almost seems as if the life he has led up to that moment really is worth preserving. He and his fiancée go away on holiday to an island in the hopes of regaining their love for each other.
