Roma
A resilient Mixtec maid discovers she’s pregnant and must navigate a fragile upper‑class family’s secrets—an unfaithful husband, looming land disputes, and her own uncertain future—to protect both her unborn child and her place in the household.
“There are periods in history that scar societies and moments in life that transform us as individuals.”
Synopsis
In the 1970s in Mexico City, two domestic workers assist a mother of four children while her husband is away for an extended period.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
