Synopsis

Renato Pozzetto, known as Urca, is a young man from the mountains of Lombardy who decides to fly to the sea using his hang glider. While flying over Milan, he is struck by a sudden coughing fit and is forced to make an emergency landing at the San Siro stadium. Against the advice of his elderly mother, who had urged him to avoid the city, he explores Milan and develops a growing affection for it, while also becoming aware of its many contrasts and imperfections.

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.
