Synopsis

In letters to her idol, Brad Pitt, twelve-year-old Tina Vonlanthen shares her thoughts on life in a small Swiss border town along the Rhine. She writes about her struggles with her older sister, twenty-year-old Babs, who "still hasn't found a man," and her concerns for her single father, Urs, who has been increasingly distracted. However, the Vonlanthens are not plagued by spinsterhood or Alzheimer's, but by secret love affairs: Babs is involved with her married German boss, while Urs is seeing Caroline, a black woman from Cameroon. At the local "fish dinner," the family's secrets are revealed, and Tina also experiences some intense moments she chooses not to mention in her letters to Brad.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
