Synopsis

An “artist’s home” in a suburb of Vienna, Austria. There, ten painters live a strange existence together whilst each spends his free time writing. Every year, they enjoy an outing to an exhibition. The physically old, but young-hearted artists board a bus and a strange journey ensues. Then, another “outing” which occurs in their everyday life. This documentary portrays, on this journey to a Prague exhibition, the world of each artist and of the human heart—its light and darkness. Lastly, we ask the question, essentially,what is human happiness?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
