PAULA’S SECRET

PAULAS GEHEIMNIS
Director: Gernot Krää
Germany, 2006, 100 min
In German with English subtitles.
Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Rich girl Paula’s posh bathroom is her place to retreat and have romantic dreams about a beautiful, somewhat kitsch prince. Whenever she can, she escapes to her imaginary world, and all the fantasies and inner feelings she writes down in her diary are addressed to him. Going home from her last day at school, Paula has, as always, been followed by her classmate Tobi, who is secretly in love with her. He sees her being robbed by two young pickpockets. Although he does not really understand the full drama of losing a diary, he sees a chance to spend time with her, and offers help. Having no other choice, Paula accepts. The two complete opposites set up an exciting manhunt and, thanks to Tobi’s efforts, the diary is returned. In the meantime, they discover that the two thieves are Romanian children exploited by child traffickers. Paula and Tobi set out to rescue them.

Presented with the assistance of the Goethe-Institut Toronto.
