Synopsis

Head of the family Marcel Kiekens, a manure cart driver by profession, has his hands full with his brother Theo, a scrap metal dealer, and especially with the eccentric Gilbert, who takes care of the chickens and has a peculiar hobby: digging wells. "Their quiet life is in danger of being cruelly disrupted by their cousin and neighbor Odette," says Dan Key. "She dreams of joining the select circle of middle-class women. To impress chairwoman Florence, Odette quietly hopes to take over the crazy brothers' farm to expand her husband Bernard's small weaving mill. Want to bet she won't succeed?"

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.

Craft leads on file
