Synopsis

Evil teenagers Rike and Tom plan to kill and film the execution of rock star Daniel Küblböck—also known as Lana Kaiser—who is spiritually supported by his deceased grandfather Johnny, with the help of the enigmatic figure Baltazar. Will the well-intentioned wizard manage to survive this Christmas-related chaos and learn to forgive others while being kidnapped and nearly executed, even if it means sticking his finger in cakes, rolling in the snow like a cat, or experiencing psychedelic music dreams? (And singing some bangers along the way.)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
