Synopsis

Nina, a 15‑year‑old orphan, witnesses a serious crime that endangers her life. Corrupt businessman Thomas Backer orders five assassins to eliminate her, and witness‑protection officer Max—a former special‑forces soldier—is assigned to protect her. Although they begin at odds, they eventually find common ground while on the run from Backer. During their flight, Rudi, one of Max’s former comrades, assists them and continues to aid them in several precarious situations. Max’s ex‑girlfriend Sara also becomes involved, acting as a federal prosecutor who helps him. As the danger escalates, both Nina and Max find themselves in need of protection, with Max likewise requiring a guardian.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
