The film is a cross between ‘Love Story’ and an earthy Rembrandt painting, with Rutger Hauer as a gifted Dutch sculptor who has a stormy, erotic, and star-crossed romance with an innocent and somewhat childish young girl from a rather conservative background. Based on the novel by Jan Wolkers, which is often included on the school syllabus in the Netherlands, the film was a major success with audience figures of over three million upon its release and ignited the career of Rutger Hauer.
