Wiki.
De Omweg (English: The Detour) is a 2000 Dutch semi-biographical road movie drama written and directed by Frouke Fokkema and starring Tamar van den Dop, Joachim Bißmeier, Willeke van Ammelrooy, Jan Decleir and Thom Hoffman. Based on Fokkema's play by the same name.
The movie was first shown at 2000's Netherlands Film Festival, where Tamar van den Dop was nominated for best actress. The film later went nationwide on November 9, 2000 to few ticket sales. During filming van den Dop recorded behind the scenes footage and discussed her own experiences on set, this would be turned into a behind the scenes documentary called, "Scheppen gaat van au!"
