Der Zwerg im Kopf

Comedy

Synopsis

Anna is an only child with divorced parents who maintain a reasonably good relationship and are considerate toward her. One day, she discovers a dwarf, a tiny creature whom she places in her ear. When he is awake, the dwarf gets involved in Anna's various problems. Anna is dealing with multiple challenges: living with her busy father, spending afternoons with her actress mother, experiencing her first day at school, and dealing with her unpleasant neighbor Hermann, who develops a romantic interest in her. Hermann's feelings are mistakenly caused by the dwarf, even though Anna is actually interested in Peter.

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.
