Synopsis

At the age of 77, Ernst Akramov is a living legend of medicine in Kyrgyzstan. He devoted 56 years of his existence to surgery. A real priesthood for which he sacrificed his private life. Where others would have chosen fame and money, Akramov feeds on the recovery of his patients. He chose to live in a small room in his hospital to give them his full attention. But what hides the loneliness of this man devoted to the human cause?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
