Synopsis

Every night, nameless bodies arrive in Dr. Cristina Cattaneo’s autopsy room. She refers to them as the Pure Unknown. These Pure Unknowns often come from the margins of society—homeless individuals, sex workers, runaway teenagers. In recent years, they have increasingly been migrants, washed ashore in Italy after being rejected by the Mediterranean Sea. If all rights belong to the living, then the dead are left with nothing. What happens, then, when the dead lose their identity? Faced with this growing number of unidentified deceased, few seem concerned about their right to dignity. Few, that is, except Cristina.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
