Synopsis

Neuroatypical extroverted Australian Andy charms the introverted elite of the “Happiest Country in the World” and talks himself into teaching at Aalto University in Helsinki. His achievements are praised and Andy acts as the spearhead of Finnish educational projects in Africa, refugee camps in the Middle East and even the Nevada desert for the Burning Man festival. At the peak of his career representing Finland in the Netherlands, Andy is attacked. A head injury causes PTSD and the deal is done. Almost everything possible in the Finnish healthcare system goes wrong and Andy falls through the safety nets of the Nordic welfare state into a “black hole.” Andy receives a bewildering number of different F-code diagnoses and eventually ends up in a closed ward, holding the unofficial world record for the most different F-code diagnoses given to one person.

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.
