Synopsis

A manipulated and staged exploration of life in Las Hurdes, in the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, as it was in 1932. Poor living conditions, poverty, and lack of opportunities lead to the emigration of young people and the isolation of those who remain in one of the poorest and least developed regions of Spain at the time.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
