Yab Yum

Director Anna van 't Hek worked almost four years on the project. She was inspired to make this documentary about the most famous sex club in the world after visiting the place when it was used as a museum between 2013 to 2016. It turned out to be a major disappointment, as the building was dirty and smelly, and showed little of the grandeur of its heydays. However, after hearing the passionate stories from the former manager, she got the idea for a documentary about Yab Yum's downfall, in which former employees could talk about what really happened behind the closed doors of this exclusive club. One reason that it took so long was that many of the people she approached refused to cooperate, and some she had to wear down "over many years of drinking coffee and white wine".
