Release

Although the film was shot in 1979, the first broadcast took place 2 years later. The KRO aired the film on May 3, 1981. According to screenwriter Gerard Soeteman, the reason for this was that it was decided to give priority to the feature film Spetters first. As a result, this film remained unedited for 2 years.^[2]
