Trivia
Hannah Hoekstra said she had doubts about accepting the role because of the graphic nude scenes: "Already in the first scene I'm in bed with a man and my pubic hair is shaved off. I really doubted whether I should play this role, whether by doing so I wouldn't be opening the door to a string of nude roles. Guys, we'll ask Hannah Hoekstra, she'll take off her clothes. That I said yes anyway was due to the good script and the fact that both the scriptwriter and the director were women. Hemel is so much about female sexuality, about searching for the limit, about saying no, about intimacy... I would find it almost disgusting for a man to write a script like that."

Mesmering

After a slow start that seems to offer superficial gratuitous sex the film deepens and deepens through the courageous and mesmeric performance by Hannah Hoekstra. The cinematography, naturalistic camerawork, pithily Dutch dialogue, uncontrived performances and minimalist sound track manifest Sacha Polak's unpretentious direction. Hans Dagelet seems to fit like a glove into his role as the wearily urbane father.
