Synopsis

In a popular suburb of Tunis, a fanfare trombonist dreamed that his son, Anès, would become a great musician. Appropriating the father's dream, the child has developed extraordinary skills in the practice of the violin. He won several competitions and finally gained access to London's prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School. The film traces the stages of this extraordinary journey, the obstacles that Anès encounters, his evolution during his exile in Europe.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
