The film focuses on the younger generation with a warning storyline. It is hoped that young viewers will recognize the eternal dark side of human nature in the extreme aristocratic environment of the 1990s, and let young viewers realize that vulnerability may be a positive for cynicalism. The production design of Jon Gary Steele is esoteric, meticulous and critical to this film set entirely in a privileged world. Edward Shearmur’s soundtrack elegantly echoes the film’s ever-changing mood, but with a delightful feel. The driving force highlights the humorous, ironic tone and the ruthless inevitable feeling of the film. With the careful creation of photographer Theo van de Sande, the film is a mature film that is very suitable for children to watch.
