Synopsis

Milan is a Belarusian immigrant who arrived in Rome with the dream of being able to change his life but, unable to take advantage of his degree in engineering, he finds work as a fake centurion, in front of the Colosseum and dealing with the crowd of tourists with whom he has his photo taken. His employer is Sergio, a former stuntman and self-styled invalid who is busy with a thousand imaginative jobs just to make some money and who shares a house with his sister Maria, a hotline operator. As the competition in front of the Colosseum becomes increasingly tough, Milan devises a plan to defeat everyone and, using his university studies, builds a real chariot with which to attract as many customers as possible.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
