Synopsis

Passionate social worker Wolski is determined to leave Germany behind. He seeks to offer delinquent teenagers a fresh start on an uninhabited island in the Kingdom of Tonga. His first candidate is Marcel, a 16-year-old with a history of drug use, violence, and criminal behavior. A visit to the main island turns disastrous, but Wolski barely prevents Marcel from being sent to prison. The agreement is clear: from now on, Marcel is not allowed to leave the remote island under any circumstances.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
