Synopsis

Jessie Fischer, a single mother known for her sharp tongue, is sentenced to community service at a nursing home after being caught shoplifting and causing property damage. There, she meets Walter Voss, referred to as the General, an irritable retiree who has been abandoned by his adult children and sent to the facility. Moved by his situation, Jessie becomes determined to support him. However, when the General's costly pocket watch goes missing, Jessie—who has a recent conviction for theft—is suspected. The General intervenes, and the two set off on an unexpected journey to the coast.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
