Which Ride or Die actress played Julia in the 2009 Dutch film The Storm?

The story behind the answer

Sylvia Hoeks played Julia in the 2009 Dutch film The Storm. The film, released in Dutch as De storm, dramatizes the North Sea flood of 1953, when storm-driven seawater breached dikes across the province of Zeeland.

Hoeks plays Julia, a young mother separated from her infant during the disaster. Her search for the child forms the emotional center of the film, which combines a personal survival story with a historical catastrophe. Ben Sombogaart directed the production, written by Marjolein Beumer and Rik Launspach.

The role came early in Hoeks’s international career. She later became widely recognized for English-language work including The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Blade Runner 2049 and the television series See. A likely mix-up is Hoeks’s Ride or Die character: she plays Ana in that series, not Julia. Julia belongs to The Storm.
