A Woman Like Eve (Dutch : Een vrouw als Eva) is a 1979 Dutch drama film directed by Nouchka van Brakel, about a woman who leaves her husband for another woman. The film stars Monique van de Ven in the title role of Eve, with Peter Faber as her husband Ad and Maria Schneider as Liliane, who becomes Eve's lover. The plot focuses on the child custody battle that ensues after Eve leaves her husband. [1] The characters' names are references to the biblical Adam, Eve, and Lilith.
