Amateur dirt-bikers Rien and Hans, along with their mechanic Eef, all fall in love with Fientje, a young woman who works a concession stand at the races alongside her brother Jaap. Each of them is striving for a better life: Fientje wants to leave the business and escape from Jaap, while Rien and Hans aspire to become professional racers, following in the footsteps of their hero, Gerrit Witkamp.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
