Synopsis

Sina, a teacher, and Carl, a doctor, have grown apart and are going through a divorce, with little communication left between them. On Christmas Eve, they unexpectedly meet again on a crowded train traveling from Salzburg to Munich. Tensions rise as old conflicts resurface, and the couple engages in a passionate argument in the classic screwball style, with clashing perspectives and emotions. When the train becomes stranded in a snowstorm, their stress intensifies. In the midst of their quarrel, they neglect their 10-year-old son, Felix, who is overwhelmed by the situation. Other passengers on the train also face personal troubles, and it is only as circumstances escalate that Sina and Carl begin to regain their awareness and reconsider their behavior.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
