Synopsis

Set in Vienna before the outbreak of the First World War, the story follows Clarissa Schuhmeister, who is raised in a monastery under strict discipline. Her life takes a new turn when she meets the Frenchman Léonard and falls in love with him. Just as she becomes pregnant with his child, the war breaks out and separates the happy couple. In a pragmatic move, Clarissa marries Gottfried, a deserter, entering into a painful but realistic arrangement to ensure he will not be sent back to the front. Despite this, she never truly loves him, as she remains unable to forget Léonard.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
