What keeps this movie going, to my mind, is the excellent performance of the actresses who all play very well, Victoria Koblenko being the most convincing. As for the story - there are so many holes in it I cant even begin to list them. Not only does the actual story make no sense, the development of the characters is strange and unexplained. To name but a few: Why is the "storyteller" visiting the psychiatrist really, I mean, what is her inner motive? Why should she say that, looking back on it, it is logical Josefien should have that idea? Locations and atmosphere are generally good, with a less few exceptions, actors perform well and there is an element of suspense. Should they have taken the trouble to add a better story it could have been a great film (for Dutch standards anyway) - now it's just not a bad film.
