A psychological portrait of relationships and sexual desire. Diana and her husband Julian have been together for some time.

Release

The film had a modest release, therefore didn't do too well at the Dutch box office but did well on the DVD/Video circuit. Since the producer put the film on YouTube for free, it garnered more than 30 million views (as of December 2020). The movie has since been removed for violating YouTube's policy on nudity or sexual content.
