Moonlighting
Synopsis
Nowak, a Polish contractor, brings a group of laborers to London to work on a government project, offering them employment as cheap labor. As the leader, he is responsible for managing both the work and the men, who face the challenges of adapting to Western life, dealing with loneliness, and being separated from their families. Nowak is the only member of the group who speaks English, which he uses to his advantage in communicating with and controlling the others. When political unrest in Poland results in a military takeover, Nowak finds himself in a far more complicated and uncertain situation than he had anticipated.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 37
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.
