Het Woeden der Gehele Wereld is a 2006 Dutch film, based on the novel of the same name by Maarten 't Hart.

[1] The title translates as "The fury/rage/raging of the whole world" and is derived from a song with lyrics by René-François Sully-Prudhomme, set to music by Gabriel Fauré.

The film is set in Maassluis and Leiden, in the time of the German occupation in the 1940s, and the 1950s.

It is about the coming of age of Alex Goudveyl (Maarten Heijmans),[citation needed] and about the murder of a police officer.

[1] For profit, in May 1940 Joost Vroom (Cees Geel) takes refugees (mainly Jews) on his boat to escape to England.

Very inconsiderately his father sells the family's piano when he is offered a good price for it, much to Alex's regret.

As a student, Alex has sex with Yvonne, the assistant of the professor, in an empty lecture room, at her initiative.

The Goudveyl couple was childless, and Alex was illegally supplied to them by Vroom for profit.

The filming was partly done at the Barrandov Studios In 1956 a murder was committed in Maassluis during an evangelisation gathering, when Maarten ’t Hart was 12 years old.
