For girls, the film shows a progression of development. Younger girls are shown with un-developed breasts and a "bald vagina." The camera then focuses on the external genitalia, showing the labia, the opening of the vagina, and the clitoris. An older girl is shown spreading her labia to reveal a close-up of the clitoris, urethra, and hymen. Variations in the size and shape of labia are also shown to normalize diversity in female anatomy.

One reviewer on IMDb called it "a perfect summary of key sex education" and "one of the best short films from 1991". Others appreciated that the children did not engage in sexual intercourse; that was left to the adults. The film earned modest ratings, averaging between 6.8 and 7.2 out of 10 on IMDb.
This is a thoughtful and multi-layered query. The Dutch term (literally "lighting the way") is more comprehensive than the English "sex education." It implies an open, informative, and ongoing guidance process.
