Het Debuut ('The Debut') is a 1977 Dutch drama film based on a Hester Albach's novel and directed by Nouchka van Brakel.
For some time all is happy, but then the tension grows too much, because of the secrecy and frustration of being the lover of a married man, and because she feels he starts to treat her too much like a child instead of a lover.
News of the film version began to pick up steam in November 1976 when De Telegraph ran a full-page article on the film's casting.
Nouchka van Brakel wanted an unknown for the lead, though.
"[6] The film, "Nouchka's first full - length film, (is) a confident justification of her belief that a woman can render her sex much more precisely on screen than a male director can", according to Dutch Cinema: An Illustrated History.
