Die Zeit der Kraniche
Synopsis
In the remote Lower Havel lowlands, one of Germany's last bird sanctuaries, twelve-year-old Lea lives with her father, Lutz, an ardent environmentalist. On the brink of adolescence, she faces the struggles of the present and the lingering effects of the past. Lea often feels isolated in the increasingly depopulated area, where schools have closed and the community continues to shrink. Her father, who has become increasingly withdrawn, becomes a growing source of tension for Lea, who yearns for connection and companionship.

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.
