Plot

Cast

Production

The idea for Nadine started shortly after the release of de Bruyn's Wild Mussels, according to him when he just turned 40 years old and in his friend group there were a number of highly educated independent women, who became suddenly interested in having children when they turned forty. He started delving into the subject himself, which was fueled by his own feelings around mortality. He co-wrote the first draft with Marion Bloem, the decision to cast three women for the same character was established early in development. [4]

The film was suppose to be an international co-production with various production companies across Europe, but these plans were dropped after two years. Production started with an allocated budget of two million euro, but was only made with 1,5 million. On first day of filming in Portugal, the car that was used in the film was involved in a crash, the crew member involved only suffered minor injuries. [4]
