Hoe duur was de suiker (2013). Hoe duur was de suiker: Directed by Jean van de Velde. With Neil Sandilands, Gaite Jansen, Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing, Anna Raadsveld. The Price Of Sugar tells the alternately gripping, romantic and heart-wrenching story of Sarith and Mini-Mini as they grow up on the sugar plantations of Suriname in the latter half of the eighteenth century. Where Sarith is the most beautiful woman in the colony, the mulatto Mini-Mini is forever in her shadow, slave to her own half-sister.

“In my opinion, Mini mini story is more interesting than to her mistress, which is selfish, promiscuous, ruthless and miserable. I mean who wants to watch a toxic character making herself and the people around her miserable? At least mini mini has a decency and more ladylike than sarith. I agree on one review here, the antics and story were tiresome it would be better if its formatted as mini series.nAlso Dutch cinema has a different style of story telling, very different from what we saw in Hollywood which is effective and fresh for someone who is not familiar in Dutch movies.”
