Synopsis

Constant Wegman (Benja Bruijning) is a 14-year-old boy raised by his grandmother, Carry Tefsen, in Zeedijk, Amsterdam. She owns a cafe-hotel called "De Rode Laars" ("The Red Boots"). Constant, who dreams beyond his surroundings filled with drunkards, gamblers, and fighters, escapes by writing poetry. His grandmother hopes he will take over the cafe, but Constant secretly enters a national poetry competition, giving rise to a new Vondel.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
