Pustel'ga
Synopsis
In a remote village on the seashore lives a boy nicknamed Shumilka, the village mockingbird and mischief maker. A loyal fan of circus master Leonid Yengibarov considers himself his son. But Yengibarov himself doesn’t dare write a letter and ask for advice on how to join the circus. The morals and spirit of the village, its miserable and half-drunk life make thirteen-year-old Shumilka want to take revenge by all means. And the world takes revenge on him in its own way: everyone gave up on the boy - his mother, his grandmother, and his deaf-mute grandfather. In addition, he is expelled from school because he could not restrain himself and hit the teacher with a teapot. And now the boy is threatened with a colony...

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.
