Rozema deliberately made the fiancé, Martin, a kind and understanding person. She wanted Camille's pivot toward Petra to be motivated by genuine desire rather than an escape from a bad heterosexual relationship.

Petra boldly pursues Camille, drawing her out of her gray, buttoned-up existence and into a vibrant, sensual world of color, movement, and passion. 🎨 Visuals and Themes

Camille’s academic world is depicted in muted, cold tones, while Petra’s circus world explodes with rich reds, golds, and deep blues.
