Trivia
In the original screenplay, Jan (Herman Finkers) spent only a brief time in the clinic for demented patients. Finkers greatly expanded the interaction between Jan and his fellow patients (which he found "both comedic and tragic"), based on his own experience with some of his own family members who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

One of the best Dutch movies of the past years. Spoken dialect is the finishing touch of a well written and well played story. Good choice of cast. I had a smile on my face for the entire movie. Literally and as a matter of speaking a breath of fresh air. This movie has merit ("heeft zin" in Dutch).
