Synopsis

Claudio was born in Greece, raised in Venice, married to Taranto, and it was in New York that he was murdered after having pursued the American dream for twenty years. Giacomo Abbruzzese reconstructs his grandfather's story, immersing us in the New York of the 1960s, with Billy Joel's sounds and a gangster movie atmosphere. Through the testimonies and memories of his relatives, on both sides of the ocean, we discover a mysterious, complex character, perpetually on the run. It is the portrait of a man that nobody ever really knew.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
