Nights of Cabiria
A hopeful Roman sex worker named Cabiria roams the city searching for love and a fresh start, only to confront relentless deception and heartbreak that test whether she can ever find true happiness.
“The story of a betrayed but unquenchable little Roman street-walker.”
Synopsis
In 1957 Rome, Cabiria is abandoned and left to drown by her boyfriend, Giorgio after he robs her. She is rescued and attempts to rebuild her life, seeking happiness in a world marked by cynicism. Despite moments when she believes she has overcome her hardships and found peace, the reality may be more complicated than it appears.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 35
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.
