Synopsis

Nikolaus Kaminsky is a former police profiler who has been living in seclusion for 20 years, with no contact with the outside world. Only his neighbor's daughter Simone manages to coax him out of his shell from time to time. When he threatens the 12-year-old with a knife for no apparent reason one day, detectives Jäger, Kraft, and Hoffmann are called in. The police are actually busy with a kidnapping case, but when Kaminsky casually leads the investigators to the solution of the case, a long-forgotten case of child murders suddenly becomes relevant again. The last victim of the serial killer, who remains unknown to this day, was Kaminsky's daughter. When Kaminsky then warns the police about a new kidnapping case, the suspicion arises that the killer, believed to be dead, is back at work.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
