Fascinating film, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I wonder if we might hint a a motif, but it's probably better left a mystery. Mention the year perhaps? Mention black&white? Unusual then? - Extra thanks for having written an article that I promised! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Gerda, here are two Alts for you to consider. In my humble opinion it's better not to get into motivation, which I guess is only a matter of opinion in both cases. Moonraker (talk) 09:49, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, playing with them, I get to:
ALT1a ... that in No Place to Go, a black-and-white film premièred in 2000, the central character jumps from a window to her death, as the director's mother had done?
ALT2a ... that in No Place to Go, a black-and-white film, the central character jumps from a window to her death, a few days after the fall of the Berlin Wall?
approving 4 to choose from, - my preference being the last. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:40, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Returned from prep per Rule C6, brought up at WT:DYK#Prep 6. It seems to me the hooks with the director's mother in them would solve this problem, but I'm not sure why they weren't chosen. Yoninah (talk) 19:12, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, no genuine "problem" has been identified. If you see one, say what it is now. If you prefer another hook, promote it. You do not need to refer to me. Moonraker (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
