Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe car of the main character, Lara, doesn't make the sound you'd expect from a Beetle of 1973. Nicknamed 'Blue,' the Beetle has been converted into an electric car. For writer-director Victoria Warmerdam, this choice subtly reflects Lara's unique essence. Additionally, Lara's blue jacket was carefully matched to the color of her car.
- GoofsAt 20:38, as Lara is running, the rooftop is covered in sunshine. After the camera sweeps back and forth towards Daan, the sun is suddenly gone and there is an overcast. This shows that the scene with the stand-in was cut in at that camera sweep.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits roll during the final scene.
