Synopsis

Set in a fictional town in northern Russia, where highly classified research in magic takes place, the novel serves as a satire of Soviet scientific research institutes, featuring an inept administration, a dishonest, show-horse professor, and numerous equipment failures. It presents an idealistic view of the scientific work ethic, as reflected in the title, which implies that the scientists' weekends do not exist.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
