Synopsis

António Cruz, a painter, walks the streets of Porto, capturing scenes from the city in his artwork: traditional and contemporary buildings, workers commuting to and from factories, and children at play. Cruz's impressionist realist style merges with Oliveira's portrayal of Porto, which simultaneously depicts the artist and his creative process.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
