In this sexually explicit Dutch drama from director Mischa Kamp(BOYS,WINKY'S HORSE),young college aged Belle(Anna Raadsveld[THE PRICE OF SUGAR,MADLY IN LOVE]) deals with her life as her mother is a sex counselor at a remote sexual resort while Belle ambitiously pursues her dreams of being a superstar violin player as she hangs out with her friend Yukshi(Charlie Chan Dagelet[LOFT{2010},DE PRESIDENT]) while slowly discovering that her participation in several sexual adventures with other men(including with another woman) bring a heavy amount of sexual arousal that drive her to further pursue playing the violin and succeed in making her dreams come true.

What I hated about this movie is that they really endulged into this maria-whore-complex. Thereby, I hated that the only acceptable status for a woman in this movie was to have a bunch of random sex partners.
In my opinion it was not exploring female sexuality, but just a boring side story with unaesthetical porn elements.
Bottom line: Sex solves all your problems.

The Taste of this movie was bitter, not sweet.

That's why her music is numb. When she discovers that erotic stimulation benefits her play, she improves the sound she produces through the violin.

Big No!
This film shows what’s wrong with Dutch cinema.
Rural naive girl moves to the big city where she chases her dreams of becoming a good violin player. So far so average.
However, she’s not good enough. So what could possibly provide a fit solution? SEX. Sum good DICK. From a random stranger to a gigolo (which is btw the only consensual sex you’ll see) to, of course, her teacher! And you have to understand it is absolutely essential that she EXPERIMENTS WITH HERSELF, so they added her best friend to the list of sexual encounters too. In line with Dutch traditions you see the actual sexual intercourse, so at one point you’re basically watching amateur porn. Nothing wrong with… -
I'm glad I read that this was a sort of satire, but as a classical music fan i enjoyed it
