Synopsis

This film is based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who, over the course of many years, murdered more than 50 people. The majority of his victims were under the age of 17. In the then-communist state, police investigations into the killings were hindered by bureaucratic delays, institutional incompetence, and interference from those in positions of authority. The narrative is presented from the perspective of the detective assigned to lead the investigation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
