Synopsis

Viktor spends his free time frequenting bars with women of questionable reputation, where he meets a wife he does not love, who becomes the mother of an unplanned child. Viktor was abandoned by his father; his mother later committed suicide, and he was raised in an orphanage. Years later, his estranged father returns as a disabled felon, and Viktor learns that his father's apartment is about to become available. The paperwork required to place his father in a nursing home is signed quickly. However, the only facility capable of accepting him is located far away, and during the journey the father begins to recover, leading to further complications.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
