    • Trivia
      Originally the movie was going to be directed by Dominique Deruddere, but he pulled out. While preparing his cinema debut AmnesiA (2001), Martin Koolhoven agreed to direct this movie, on the condition he could start anew with casting and pick his own crew. He started to rework the script with writer Tim Krabbé, but years later he said he actually didn't have enough time to get the script perfect. He said he overestimated himself.

    Great movie based on a Dutch novel!

    The movie starts in killing suspence and ends in a typical way according to the writer's style (Krabbe). A must see for every filmfan capable of speaking Dutch. The DVD has been released and is worth the effort of walking to the shops. Dutch movies are never a succes unless they are shallow and action-minded and so was this film a total flop.

    Broaden your horizon and see this movie!
