Trivia

The world premiere took place during the Dutch Film Festival (NFF) In Utrecht (The Netherlands) on 29 September 2020. The festival and premiere had to take measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result the movie premiered in some 90 cinemas at the same time to spread the audience. In Utrecht the invited audience was limited in numbers. Non-Dutch cast was not present due to quarantine guidelines - some welcomed the audience via a taped video message on screen.
