"A very strong women's movie" is one way of saying "two women realize they are in love".
IMDB commenter wrote:Eve lives with her husband Ad and two children somewhere in Amsterdam. Eve seems reasonably happy although she sometimes has the feeling that there's something missing in her life. Her husband – thinking Eve is depressed – sends her on a holiday to France with her girlfriend Sonja. In the south of France, on the beach, Eve meets Liliane, a young feminist and commune-dweller. Eve feels strangely drawn to Liliane. Eve and Sonja pay a visit to the rural commune in with Liliane lives and works; Sonja doesn't think much of it but Eve keeps returning and seeing Liliane. When returned home, Eve tries to stay in touch with Liliane by mail and she even takes up French courses. At a later point in time, Liliane comes to Amsterdam for a big feminist convention and the two women meet again and spend time together. It is only then that Eve realizes that she is in love with Liliane. It is not without difficulties that Eve comes to terms with her feelings for Liliane. She decides to go for it and the two women get sexually involved. Ad finds out and he is furious….!
This is a film by the dutch female film director Nouchka Van Brakel, who wrote the script together with Judith Herzberg. The story was based on actual events in those days: a woman lost the custody of her children to her ex-husband, merely because she left him to go live with another woman.

The kids are around at times but don't seem to have big roles. So the movie's not relevant to FLM, really, except for the short scenes as noted by RFF. But because of that, moving this from Unv to REL for those interested.
By the way, something strange that will be of interest to almost noone except me: at one point there is a strange encoding artifact where the picture is smeared every 16 horizontal pixels. Only for one short scene. Never seen this sort of thing before.

Weird.
