Synopsis

René is an apprentice storekeeper at the local supermarket. Mr. Maurice, the head storekeeper, took him out of an orphanage and has become the father René never had. René has a dream. He wants to be a great Blues guitarist, like his idol, a British guitarist of the 70s. The Blues seems the only thing on earth that gives him pleasure, except maybe for the smile on Nathalie's face. She's the accountant. And René is in love with her. He can't find the words to express his feelings but he is convinced he can win her with his music, when he's ready. When Mr. Maurice retires, René's world is turned upside down. His new boss bullies him, his guitar hero dies, he fails to win Nathalie's heart. Only the Blues can pull him through. René takes on the appearance of his idol: his voice, his style and his mission. The sound of his guitar, his powerful raspy voice, his long silver hair and his Angel-like face make him a star for an imaginary audience. He's become Silver Head the great guitarist.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
