Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is basically the Dutch Love Actually, but swap Hugh Grant for a guy in a Sinterklaas costume. Sinterklaas (December 5th) is way more important than Christmas in the Netherlands, which explains the absolute chaos energy.
Director Joram Lürsen and writer Kim van Kooten had previously worked together on the TV series 'All Stars' — that chemistry shows in how they juggle ensemble chaos without losing heart.
