Happiness Is a Warm Gun (2001) follows Petra, a prominent peace activist from the 1980s, who is fatally shot by her lover and political partner, a former West German army general named Gert. Immediately after the shooting, Gert takes his own life. The narrative delves into the enigmatic question of whether Petra's death was a murder or a self-inflicted act. The film explores Petra's journey from the moment the bullet enters her skull until it lodges in her brain, leading to her demise. Petra finds herself in a surreal, glassy transit zone of an international airport, a modern-day purgatory.

In the intense moment between life and death, Petra comes to terms with her deepest desires.
