Synopsis

Harold Mortimer is the last of his clan. The old dilapidated castle is all he has left and he urgently needs money for renovation. Until now, he earned his living from tourists. But the ghosts, once helpful in scaring the numerous clientele, are staying away, because the whisky cellar is empty. Without ghosts, there are no tourists, no money, no renovation, no whishy, no ghosts.... a vicious circle. Enraged, he decides to get rid of the ghosts once and for all and chases them back to the graveyard where they once came from. There he meets the cemetery gardener Paolo. The two quickly become friends and decide to go to Spain together. Paaolo even owns a boat... But how will he make it to the sea? Can the enchanted fairy help them?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
