Synopsis

This film explores the experiences of Fini Straubinger, an elderly woman who has been deaf and blind since her teenage years, and her efforts to support others in the deaf-blind community. It highlights the challenges faced by the deaf-blind in comprehending and adapting to a world that largely excludes them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
