Synopsis

Paco, a poor street hunchback lives in an improvised shelter under the Brooklyn Bridge. In order to survive, Paco carves wood figurines, trading them for food for him and his faithful dog. But on one cold, dark and violent Brooklyn night, Paco witnesses an art theft and is promptly run over by the thug's van. Later in the hospital, a lovely nurse, who takes care of Paco, appreciates his figurines and decides to introduce Paco to her friend, an art dealer. Unfortunately, the dealer recognizes Paco as the only witness to her well organized crime of art theft. A nail-biting finale ends this extraordinary story.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
