to the new film Night Train to Lisbon that will begin premiering in Europe on February 20 but will get a wider release on March 7. 

The film is based on the novel of the same name and is directed by Oscar-winner Bille August. It stars Jeremy Irons, Jack Huston and Martina Gedeck. The book's author, Pascal Mercier, also appears and drives the 280 SE. 

The story tells the story of a professor at a university in Bern. He saves a woman from committing suicide. She runs away leaving her jacket and a book by Portuguese author Amadeu de Prado. He becomes interested in the author and takes a journey to Lisbon. 

This is the second time that Mercedes has recently donated cars to a film. It also gave many cars to the latest Die Hard movie
