A Sovereign Dream
Synopsis
In August 1903, the King of Portugal, D.Carlos I, proceeds to, by Royal Charter, the auction sale of the Fort St. Joseph - located in a small islet near the city of Funchal. In October 2000, the old fort is acquired by professor Renato Barros, without him even knowing that the Royal Charter documented not only the sale of the property but also the domain over the islet. Overnight, the professor becomes the Prince.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 12
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
