Synopsis

A boy wants a pigeon but cannot afford to buy one, as the price at the market is 100 rubles. He decides to trade his father's stamp album to acquire the bird. After catching the pigeon, he releases it into the sky, but it returns to its original dovecote and former owner, who once again asks for money. The short film explores childhood and dreams, as well as the early life lessons people face when society and its rules begin to shape their lives, sometimes shattering their brightest dreams.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
