Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Mike van Diem won the Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1997 for Character, then vanished from Hollywood until this quirky return.
The film satirizes the Dutch 'euthanasia tourism' debates of the 2010s through grotesque wealth privilege—only the rich can afford dignified exits.
