The film, which will be released on Netflix on Friday, is largely set on the sunny island of Ibiza. It is precisely that ‘holiday feeling’ that is nice to watch, adds Bo Maerten. In the film, Bo and Géza play the couple Jim and Lisa. They decide to split up, after which Lisa goes to Ibiza with friends. The film shows the ‘two sides’ of love, Weisz thinks. “That it can be totally super, but on the other hand can be very complex.”
F*ck the Love 2 shows how we deal with making choices, the actor thinks. “It shows how hard we find it to connect, to make decisions.” You can also see that in the storyline of Lisa and Jim, he thinks. “One wants to be free and the other wants to map out a life together. That is recognizable for all of us.” Bo agrees. “You also see it around you, for example you hear about couples who split up because one wants and wants to have children and the other doesn’t.”

Bo was already seen in the first film of F*ck the Love† It was ‘very nice to see each other again’, she says. “It’s a very relaxed group.” Géza was just one of the new players in the film, but it ‘clicked immediately’, the actor remembers. “There was absolutely no climate: we already know each other, you are excluded. It is a very crazy profession in fact, in which you are very intimate in a short period of time and you hang out together. Especially in Ibiza you become very close.”
The film will be released on Netflix, which means it can be seen worldwide. Bo does not dare to say whether foreign subscribers will watch the film. “I really hope so. How nice that a girl of twelve on the other side of the world can see it.” Géza thinks the film could become an international success. “When you see how good F*ck the Love part 1 has done it worldwide, then I see no reason why it shouldn’t work with part two.”
Whether the first film will also get a third part after a second? “You have to ask the producer that,” laughs Bo. But if it does come, she would like to work on it again. “I don’t know why not, actually. That seems like a lot of fun.”
