Synopsis

The film portrays the tragic story of railroad guard Thiel in the late 19th century. Thiel's life is marked by the dull and repetitive nature of his work, and he has recently lost his gentle and quiet first wife, Minna. Concerned for his young son, Tobias, he remarries. His second wife, Lene, with whom he has another child, is more vibrant and passionate. Thiel becomes increasingly withdrawn as he observes that his son from his first marriage is being mistreated by Lene. When Tobias is killed in an accident, Thiel holds Lene responsible, leading to inevitable tragedy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
