Synopsis

Carla is pregnant and naked, reenacting the poses her mother took during her own pregnancy. Sunlight streams through the windows. The film includes Super-8 footage of mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, engaged in activities such as smiling, sewing, and reciting poetry. A young girl moves chronologically from the 1960s to the 1980s and into the present, navigating the transitions of femininity and historical change, until she meets Carla by the Blue Sea of Catalonia and encounters Manel, Carla's newborn son.

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.

Craft leads on file
