Production
Ella-June Henrard was 15/16 at the time of filming. Asked about how he handled the young actress sex scenes, director Hans Herbots said, "It was a matter of winning her trust. You achieve that by talking a lot and explaining. With me, it went fairly quickly, also because we offered the guarantee that she would not have to get fully naked. Furthermore, it is best not to plan any scenes that are too hot until the third or fourth week. And even then you can feel the nervousness that day. Not only Ella-June, I was also tense. Suppose she had completely shut down..."[1]
