Synopsis

A river trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg, in which mainly German seniors take part. For 14 days you will experience a dense program of churches, art, vodka and the Volga. You will be chased through old villages with hundreds of souvenir stands. On the ship you will learn Russian songs and folk dances and can do gymnastics under supervision. But the film lives from the protagonists, the idealistic Renate, who mourns communist Russia, Peter, who doesn't like traveling, who only went along for the sake of his girlfriend ("One tree looks like another"), and the passionate Ellen, who is unhappy in... Peter in love. A helicopter is flown in to rescue a seriously ill passenger. But what also makes the cynical Peter think are the wonderful sunsets, the beautiful nature, the peace and the vastness of the Russian landscape. And in the end, a little piece of the Russian soul remains.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
