Synopsis

A businessman from Mexico City is convinced that the main reason of poverty is that the poor believe they are victims of the system; they do not want to change their comfort zone and tend to blame third parties for their failures. In the Frailesca Zone of the State of Chiapas, in Mexico, the aforementioned businessman, together with the State Government, compromise themselves to establish a productive project with the zone´s young population to create awareness that they are responsible for their own lives. Ten local youths agreed to participate in the project. After a long journey, replete with obstacles, they agreed on a project to reach a goal. As time passes, the encounter of two different worlds emerges, and their paradigm, unable to mix, creates a sensation of clashing feelings emptiness.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
