I'm Paula, 18 years old, I finished school last year, and am now doing volunteer service at the Polaris youth center. Then of course I also like to watch films. My mom, in particular, brought me to watch films. I always had small "film phases" with her, e.g. a decade, an actor, a director or just a certain genre.

I'm Anton Radke, I'm 19 years old and originally from Berlin. I'm starting to study politics at FSU this semester.
