In 1991, the Dutch Ministry of Education officially mandated that all primary schools must teach some form of sexual education. For many countries, this date might seem late.

The curriculum of the video was structured into several distinct chapters: 1. Lichaamsontwikkeling (Body Development)
The events of 1991 did not represent a clean beginning or a definitive end to a specific era. Instead, they highlight a society in transition—one caught between the progressive achievements of the 1970s and 80s and the complex, digitally-driven challenges of the future, all while trying to figure out the best way to talk to its youth about one of the most fundamental aspects of human life.
