Synopsis

Ben (Thomas Schaurer) has an argument with his girlfriend Sina. She falls into a coma, seriously injured. Ben is sent to a psychiatric clinic for attempted manslaughter. Doctor Karin Kramer (Juliana Gibbins), who has just been dumped by her partner and is therefore in a personal crisis herself, is given the task of preparing an expert opinion on the suicidal and aggressive Ben for the public prosecutor Sundmann. In ongoing conversations, Dr. Kramer tries to find out who Ben is and what happened during the argument between him and Sina. Is Ben dangerous or does he need to be protected? Nothing is as it seems...

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
