Cast Gijs Scholten van Aschat as Jörgen Sylvia Hoeks as Tirza Johanna ter Steege as Alma Abbey Hoes as Ibi Titia Hoogendoorn as Ester Nasrdin Dchar as Choukri Keitumetse Matlabo as Kaisa Production In retrospect, Abbey Hoes thinks she "should not have done" some of the nude scenes she has done in the past. "I've been on mokkels.nl since I was fourteen because of my role in the film Tirza." The actress tells in conversation with a magazine that there are people who think that "it's part of the game" if you are an actress. "But I don't think being on a dirty porn site is part of the job. If I had wanted that, I would have become a porn actress."
