Synopsis

The film tells the story of an artist trapped in poverty. Kemal, once a famous theater actor, is now unemployed. Poverty causes him to lose his wife and son. When his health deteriorates, he even resorts to juggling. Just when he has lost all hope, Leyla appears. Leyla has become paralyzed after falling while dancing at a nightclub. On the day she attempts suicide, Kemal finds her. The old man has forgotten his own troubles. His sole purpose is to help Leyla reconnect with life. He has placed the young girl in the place of his son, whom he has been separated from for years. Together with Leyla, Kemal will also heal.

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.

Craft leads on file
