Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Carice van Houten's first film role — she beat 200 other actresses and immediately became Dutch cinema's it-girl.

Cultural

The film captures a specific Dutch phenomenon: the 'verzuiling' pillar system's suffocating social conformity, here literalized as physical entrapment.
