Hemel[a] (Hannah Hoekstra) is a young Dutch woman, approximately age 25, who frequently has one night stands with strangers.

On a subsequent night, Hemel goes home with a stranger named Jimmy and their sexual encounter turns violent when he strangles and then rapes her.

Afterwards, Hemel goes to her ex-stepbrother, Teun's birthday party where she interrogates his Christian girlfriend, Annabella, telling her that it is a waste that she's suppressing her lustful desires and waiting for sex until marriage.

Hemel has an affair with a married man named Douwe, the husband of one of her father's colleagues, Brechtje, and is surprised to learn that he has had only a few sexual partners.

He tells Hemel that she is the only woman he has ever cheated with because he has never felt that betraying the intimacy with his wife was worth it.

Hemel tells him that her version of love involves knowing the same things as the other person.

That night, Hemel is sleeping and Gijs wakes her up, carries her to the toilet to urinate, pulling down her underwear for her.

When Hemel begins to cry, Brechtje dries her tears and the two women hug.
