Synopsis

Gartxot is a twelfth-century minstrel from the Pyrenees who is exiled by the new Abbot of Roncevallis. The Abbot seeks to capture Gartxot's only son, Mikelot, and forcibly convert him into a singing monk. After being captured and tortured, the boy manages to escape and resumes singing beside his father, making Gartxot promise never to allow him to be locked up in the monastery again. Their songs become a symbol of resistance against oppression. With the help of the local people, they repeatedly evade the authorities. In the end, as the authorities surround them, Gartxot remembers his promise to his son, leading to a tragedy that is still remembered to this day.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
