Romina Küper grew up in the Ruhr area in Germany, most of the time in her mom's hair salon. She loves contradictions. Especially when it comes to working class children who start to study or do an artistic job. Also when it comes to representation of working class in the media which is usually told from a bourgeois perspective.
While still studying philosophy, theater studies and comparative literature (RUB Bochum, FU and UDK Berlin), she began a career as an actress and to date has appeared in more than 30 productions. Romina is known for the Netflix Show Woman of the Dead. Since 2021 she has been studying film directing at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg under Maren Ade.
