Synopsis

Our pilgrimage to Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain lasted for four years. In this major center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism men still try to do things in common. The sounding boards and the bells, the voices of the monks chanting sweeten the soul of man. Divine music, next to it Byzantine iconography. The most mystic period in the history of art. Manuel Panselinos, Thophanis Strelitzas or Bathas and a number of other great painters. Nature guileless and innocent. The garden of the only woman who is venerated here: The Holy Virgin. At the summit of Athos we realized how much this pilgrimage had changed us. We found ourselves in a place nurtured by benediction and blessing is never absent.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
