Help with name of German (I think) film

I can remember three groups of details about the movie, but it is possible I am mixing up scenes from several films. I believe that it is a German language film from the past 5-7 years.

1) The male lead, a young man, lives with his brother (or a friend) in a rustic farm building on a hill in a bare field. The building may be the base of an old windmill but I'm not sure. The young man was in the military and is familiar with military style hand to hand combat.

2) The young man and his brother are involved in planning a robbery of an ultra-modern bank. At some point they show the interiors of the bank, with gleaming white walls and stainless steel everywhere. The robbers plan to get into the bank by drilling from an adjacent sewer or underground tunnel.

3) The young man at some point meets a young woman. Through some circumstance, they are both being kept at a hospital/asylum against their will. They both try to escape, in the process go up to the roof of the building and one or both of them jump off into a lake or pond below.

I'm pretty sure 1) and 2) go together, but 3) could possibly be from a different movie. I'm pretty sure about the German language but it could be French.

Thanks in advance.

Das Boot, or possibly Batman.

Yep, The Princess and the Warrior.

Excellent film. Tom Tykwer really has a talent to direct these kinds of films and Franka Potente is really an excellent actress.

Thanks all. Once again DVDTalkers to the rescue. I was 95% sure that all scenes were from the same movie.

I remember enjoying it but am not sure why I couldn't remember more about it. And I liked Run Lola Run quite a lot as well but couldn't remember that Franka Potente was the female lead in this one as well.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!
