Synopsis
Astaire Dierickx, a bachelor and bon vivant, goes to a hospital for observation. He has a great time with his roommate Wimke and the young nurses and can't resist teasing Sister Alegonde, the head nurse of the clinic, from time to time. Astaire feels at home there until the doctor comes to tell him the painful news that he has lung cancer and only a few months to live. From the moment his family finds out, they gather around his sickbed to prevent his fortune from slipping through their fingers. However, Astaire has other, much grander plans for his fortune.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 14
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.
