Synopsis

On Christmas Eve, a former thief who has recently been released from prison encounters a young woman from the countryside who is feeling forlorn, destitute, and on the verge of despair. She has been unable to locate her boyfriend, who had come to the city earlier. The ex-con stops her from committing suicide and suggests they spend the evening together in a small celebration, though they are both short on money. He soon comes up with what seems to be an obvious solution.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
