Synopsis

An Austrian Jewish teenager exiled with his family to a village in the Vicentine Alps wins over the locals, and even the podestà’s sons, by sharing his forbidden love of jazz and joining the town band. After the German occupation following September 8, they flee with the community’s help, linking up with partisans who guide them safely across the Swiss border. Loosely based on jazzman Oscar Klein’s 1944 escape.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
