On November 21, 2011, T.R.H.s Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands attended the première of the film, Nova Zembla, held at the RAI Theater in Amsterdam. Also, in attendance were Princess Aimee and Prince Floris as well asPrincess Marilene and Prince Maurits.
The film, directed by Reinout Oerlemans, tells the true story of the:
… legendary failed mission of the late sixteenth century Dutch flotilla trying to find a trading route to Asia across the North Pole. The ship crew, who got stuck in the ice of Nova Zembla and had to survive the dark coldness of winter in the most gruesome of circumstances. source
The film looks pretty good, judging by the official trailer. Hopefully it will be released in the United States sometime soon. 🙂

Some of Maxima’s outfits are loud and bright. But she looked beautiful here. Love the hair, dress and earrings.
