Synopsis

When the lights of the city go out, from the outskirts of Buenos Aries, a train arrives in which men, women and children who are excluded from the system travel, who earn their living by collecting what others throw away. The cardboard workers, as they are called, must fight day by day against indifference and loneliness. The documentary is introduced in the internal conflict that occurs in them who, despite the social situations they go through, seek the dignity that identifies them as men.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
