Synopsis

All through the night until daybreak, Argentinian writer Alberto Laiseca answers questions he posed to characters in this books, weaving a dialogue between characters and author. In this Borgesian game, Ignasi Duarte—a paradoxical and almost invisible interviewer—creates a space dealing with fear, death, love and myth, not forgetting the taste of beer. This literary huis clos is also a physical one, filmed in the enclosed space of a two-room apartment, like a mental space, with the camera focused solely on the writer, until the final swing.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
