Synopsis

Set in Styria during the second half of the 18th century, the story unfolds at Christmas in the forest home of the poet Peter Rosegger. During Advent, Peter, a young forest farmer, recites his dialect stories to an elegant audience at the Reininghaus family home, becoming a notable attraction in Graz. Hans, the nephew of the hostess, forms a friendship with Peter, and a trusting bond develops between them, benefiting each in his own way. During a winter sleigh ride, Peter shares with Hans the best Christmas memories from his childhood, including the time he got lost in the forest, his efforts to collect Christmas cheer, and his adventures with a peculiar man named Bremer Sepp.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
