This movie is really good,but at times very hard to watch because it shows you in black and white,no strings attached what goes on behind the curtains of a madhouse.Those times when the visitors are not there. And it makes you sad.Because it hurts to see people in that state and you wonder how did they get that way.

Jans Rautenbach was again the director of this masterpiece he did not make much movies in his career but when he did it was quality movies.Always takes you deep into a person's soul.(some of his other notible work includes pappalap(1969),eendag op 'n reen dag(1973) en die kandidaat(1968)

The stars of this movie was as they always was phenomenal Katinka Heyns was the star in almost all of Jans's movies and in this one she gave oneofher bet performances Katinka is a director herself and everything she touches is gold for example(fiela se kind(1987),stories van Klara viljee(1993,paljas(1996) and most recently Die wonder werker(2013)

Cobus rossouw also gave a remarkable performance as he did I everything that he did As an actor (his movies also includes masterpieces like:my broer se bril(1973),die kandidaat(1968),liefde vir lelik(1974) and most recently Faan see trein(2014))
