Synopsis

Hayat lives with her father and bedridden grandfather in a riverside shack near the dark, dangerous, yet beautiful waters of the Bosphorus. Her father owns a small boat, which sustains the family through a variety of ventures, some of which are not entirely legal. Life for Hayat is marked by hardship and relentless struggle. However, she possesses a strong instinct for survival. Her courage, endurance, and hope in the face of adversity suggest that life can persist despite the many injustices of an unfair world.

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.
