This short film is about the clash between loneliness and pushing away relationships. It is about the confrontation of guilt that one carries precisely leaving it behind rather than preventing it. That guilt creates the greatest shortcomings, and the step to improving one's life with that insight is incredibly difficult. The most painful reflection of self-isolation is shared with the like-minded floating sweet girl. Director Leon Wohlrabe, who himself lives in Drenthe, used the Sahara in Ommen and the Aekingerzand shifting sands as a cinematic backdrop for Floating Sweet Girl (Zwevend lief meisje).

The government in London objected to the plans of the vigilante from Drenthe but the group would not be stopped. On December 10 they consulted each other and the next morning they went into action. Dressed in German uniforms, the young men drove two trucks to the prison to pick up their comrades. The raid lasted barely fifteen minutes. It was later revealed that the prisoners would be executed on December 12.
