Synopsis

After her mother dies in an accident, 17-year-old Jessy becomes responsible for herself and her two younger sisters. Her father, Harald, a battle-hardened ex-military soldier who previously left his family for combat missions, unexpectedly returns and moves in with them. Struggling to adapt to his new role as a househusband and father to three daughters, he finds it difficult to connect with their emotional lives. The children initially try everything to get rid of him, while Harald is also unsettled by the fact that his eldest daughter is involved with Sascha, the class's popular boy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
