Trivia
The film is a free interpretation of the rise and (especially) decline of the Dutch software company Baan, founded by the brothers Jan and Paul Baan. The company with a strict Christian background was located in Barneveld, in the Veluwe region, from about 1985 to 2000. After a listing on the American stock exchange had been applied for, it turned out that all sorts of financial matters had not been properly arranged; the initial success was based on quicksand. The company was saved from bankruptcy when it was bought by an English company. See more »Goofs
The congregation sings a hymn hesitant and rhythmic. A double error. In such a strict religious church will be sung in full tones, so each tone is equally long and takes several counts. The congregation sings powerful and full, especially if it is a jubilee song or psalm of battle. Not surprising, the faithful have known these psalms from childhood. Doubts about the text and pitch are unthinkable. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Just saw this movie on TV and i think it's fabulous.It's about an IT-company which is founded and run by two brothers,living on the Veluwe, an area known in Holland as very strict in protestant religion(black stocking church is the nickname in Holland)Although the company tries to work with the strict biblical rules, the family finds it difficult to maintain these rules in big business.Based on a real-life scandal in Holland, the movie is very precise in showing the way these people live and try to explain everything through the bible. In one scene even the minister tells the people in church to go in peace and buy shares of the v. d.Laan company. Based on facts the film gives great insides in the way these people do there business and ,most of the time, get away with it.Acting is sublime!It's really the best Dutch movie i saw for quiet some time.
