As shown in the documentary, Roos moved from Gieten to Assen. The documentary changed her life, especially in the way others interact with her, Busman explains.

We went out for dinner the evening after the award ceremony and the statue is now on a rack at her home. ‘When I’m dead, you can have it ‘, she said,” says Busman, laughing.
