Synopsis

Mario, a dedicated man, resides in a village along the Galician coast. He works as a nurse at a local old people’s home, where he is well-liked by the residents. When Antonio Padín, the region's most notorious drug trafficker and recently released from prison, is admitted to the residence, Mario makes an effort to help him adjust. Antonio's two sons, Kike and Toño, now manage the family's criminal enterprise. A failed operation lands Kike in prison and results in a significant debt to a Colombian supplier. Toño then approaches Mario, hoping to persuade his father to take responsibility for the debt. However, Mario has his own intentions in mind.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 46+ credited

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.

2019 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
