why do you say it takes place in the 70s? Isn't there a laptop in one scene?

The quote is from the IMDB synopsis. I don't myself remember details that specific. Maybe it was a typewriter?

No - another character shows the main character porn on a laptop screen.

That's not how I remember porn in the 70s! You are right that there is something wrong with the synopsis, unless the movie covers multiple time periods. (Like late 1970s through late 1990s, at least.) I honestly don't remember enough about this one.

The main character doesn't age at all, so I don't think it's multiple time periods.

OK, I pulled out one of my downloads because I am really curious. I can see a 70s era station wagon at least. Can you give an approximate timecode for the laptop scene? If you viewed it on a streaming site I can access then even better because I will have a version with the correct total runtime.

Roughly between 11 and 12 minutes.

That is not a laptop, that is a pink plastic-framed TV. It looks like it is showing a trashy black&white daytime soap opera. Or the TV is black&white. Whether that kitschy style of TV was available in the 1970s I don't know. If it was a black&white TV, yes. Otherwise I would think it looked more like garish 1980s style... but I am in the U.S. and not the Netherlands!

Looks more like a laptop from the 50ies.

I can not remember back THAT far! But if the laptop was advertised on TV it would look black&white...
