Mondays in the Sun

A proud former shipyard foreman rallies his out‑of‑work friends to survive the crushing fallout of a plant closure, even as a looming court case and mounting desperation threaten to shatter their fragile hope.

This film is not based on a real story. It is based on thousands.

Synopsis

After the closure of their shipyard in Northern Spain, a few former workers—Santa, José, Lino, Amador, Sergei, and Reina—keep in touch. They mainly meet at a bar owned by their former colleague Rico. Santa is the most superficially confident and acts as the unofficial leader of the group. A court case involving a shipyard lamp he smashed during a protest against the closure hangs over him. José is bitter because his wife, Ana, is employed while he is not.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
