Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Irma Testa is Italy’s first female boxer to qualify for the Olympics. Raised in one of Naples' poorest and most crime-affected neighborhoods, her achievement is notable. However, as her success grows, so does her vulnerability. Following a significant loss at the Games in Rio, she begins to doubt whether boxing is the right path for her. Determined to define her own future, she must confront aspects of her personal life that she has long avoided.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
