Synopsis

The film follows Harold, a solitary individual navigating a world dominated by a totalitarian bureaucratic system. His journey takes him to Prague, where he seeks out Joseph Kilian, an old acquaintance. During his search, Harold encounters a state-operated cat-lending store and on a whim rents a cat for the day. When he later attempts to return the animal, he discovers the store has vanished. Now accompanied by the cat, Harold continues his quest for Kilian. Written and directed by Pavel Juracek, the 40-minute film uses allegory to critique personality cults and the absurdities inherent in a totalitarian regime.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
