Writer Franca Grieve himself comes from a reformed Zeeland family. Of her debut novel from 2009, more than 150,000 copies were sold.
Debuting director Tallulah H. Schwab grew up in Norway and directed short films before and plays.
Schwab says in the press material they especially her own grandmother recognized in Treurs book – a North-Holland who wrested her religious background – and some of her stories has stopped in the film. Dorsvloer full Confetti is in that way become an ode to all transverse girls who dream of escape.
The narrow road
The story revolves around a large Reformed family in New Zealand: father (Steven Watermeulen), mother (Suzan Boogaerdt), grandparents, Rogier and Christiaan and the twin brothers. Catherine (Purses Nieuwerf) is the only daughter. Every day they pray God for strength so that they will stay on the “narrow way” of faith
No TV, no music -. Even fairy tales. Only “God’s word endures forever.” But the imagination of the twelve year old Catherine is difficult to tame:. Umbrella in a jar with ice, two girlfriends, the dandelions in the stomach of a cow … She loves her imagination free rein
Tears
And you also understand, because the Zeeland landscape looks through the lens of cameraman Menno Westendorp really beautiful. Schwab choose speaking moments: the roll of Mentos that the church is passed, milking the cows with Catherine d’r father, the fairground, the tears in grandma’s coffee plunge …
This bypasses the film the obvious clichés. Catherine’s parents are no monstrous fanatics, she loves them. This is not a film full shouted confrontations, about a girl who rebels. The events will climb rather dreamy together, the moving but inevitable denouement

Mother
leading lady Purses Nieuwerf cast is excellent: a cheerful girl with a warm smile, her eyes narrowed to slits playful. She’s on the poster next to her mother, who is very symbolic looking the other way. A harsh, bitter woman – and yet you believe right away that they belong together, that her mother was once like them
Katelijnes relationships with her grandfather, brother Christiaan (Yannick de Waal) and her mother are the. heart of the film. Catherine that her brother looks at the moment in the church to evaporate his dreams, the final look of her mother in the final scene: they are touching moments
