Hand of the Headless Man

Thriller

Synopsis

Eva, a 25-year-old woman, is an Olympic diver: a champion. Her father, Peter, is her coach. During a competition, Eva climbs up to the 10-meter platform. She leaps off when suddenly she sees a shadow in the pool. Terrified by this vision, Eva suddenly loses her balance, her head hits the diving board, and she falls. Blackout. When Eva regains consciousness, she is in the hospital. Naturally, her father is at her bedside. For him, the accident is already in the past: the Olympic Games are approaching, and it is essential not to miss the qualifiers. But Eva doesn't see it that way. The accident has changed her and her life. While she was in a coma, her brother disappeared. So she decides to force her memory to remember, to break through the wall of silence her father has built around her. Eva will emerge from this experience deeply shaken. So will her family, and nothing will ever be the same again.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
