Originally produced in Belgium under the title Sexuele Voorlichting (translated directly as "Sexual Information"), the documentary was designed to bring difficult biological and social realities out into the open.

It was within this liberal educational context that the seemingly amateur production company, Studio Landstar, gave Ronald Deronge the funds to create his sole cinematic work. Deronge, a Flemish director, wrote the script with André Singelijn, who, in a curious twist, appears to have been a pharmaceutical professional by day. This small-scale, almost DIY production, likely intended as a classroom aid or a film shown in youth clinics, ended up creating something that has no real parallel. Sexuele Voorlichting , which translates to "Sexual Information," was born: a film that features real prepubescent actors, full-frontal nudity of both children and adults, and a complete absence of the cute, sanitized animations that dominate modern sex ed videos. It is, in every sense, the anti-cartoon.
So, what happened to Puberty: Sexual Education for Boys and Girls ? The answer is complicated. Its direct legacy is almost non-existent. The film was a creative dead end for everyone involved. Ronald Deronge and André Singelijn never made another film. The cast was composed of amateur or first-time actors who disappeared into obscurity. The production company, Studio Landstar, never produced another title. The film was a singular, one-off event that, for decades, existed only in the dusty archives of Belgian educational media.
