Synopsis

At the end of the Second World War, following negotiations with the State of Israel and with Jewish organizations around the world, the German government decided to compensate the Jewish survivors of the concentration camps by offering them a spa treatment every two years. The shooting of this documentary film, which takes place mainly in the town of Evian-les-Bains, features the collective confrontation and respective testimonies of former Jewish deportees, including Solange Najman, the director's own mother.

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.
