Synopsis

The film's opening images set unprecedented standards in East German animated cinema: a Bunuelian eye that fills the entire screen, real-life sequences of fleeing animals, and a sound collage that contradicts the visual imagery. This stylistic approach extends to the protagonist, a head on a foot without a body or arms who moves wearily through a bleak environment. Upon seeing various figures in the sky, he begins to imitate their movements. To his surprise, he grows wings and takes to the skies. However, his flight ends in a sobering realization: flying creatures are still limited in their range.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
