Synopsis

Mary, a seamstress, longs for a life beyond the confines of her sweatshop. Her aspirations begin to shift when she catches the eye of the bourgeois Victor. However, her interest in him wanes quickly, and through her actions, his financial resources are nearly depleted. When Victor proposes moving away from the city to live a simpler life on what remains of his money, Mary agrees and leaves him for another man. A year later, Victor is left in a dilapidated, cold dwelling, still longing for her.

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.
