Synopsis

The German lightship *Borkum Riff*, a permanently anchored floating lighthouse, is nearing the end of its service. For his final tour of duty, Captain Johann Freytag brings along his nearly grown, estranged son, Fred. The ship rescues three men stranded in a damaged boat, who are carrying weapons. The captain attempts to avoid conflict, but his crew, his son, and the three armed fugitives repeatedly disregard his advice to remain nonviolent, resulting in a series of violent incidents.

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.
