The Paradise
1999, English. Directed by Maarten Treurniet.
The life of brothers Adri and Henri is disrupted when Adri wins a photo model, Diane, in a quiz show. Diane is no spring chicken when she comes, and Adri can do what he pleases with her for a month. Henri isn't too happy about Diane, because Adri doesn't do his job anymore. When Diane also behaves like a prostitute at a village wedding, Adri finally agrees with his brother that the woman has to go up. Only the milkman's wife defends her, she wants an honorable departure for Diane. However, a controversial discovery is made when the milkman dies, ensuring that Diane stays longer than expected.
