Production

Fons Rademakers commissioned producer Joop Landré to make an adaptation of Hugo Claus's novella, thinking "it was very poetic". Rademakers ended up contacting the writer himself, who was residing in New Orleans at the time. Claus immediately set to work on the screenplay, which he completed in two weeks.
