Synopsis

The film is about a family that was torn apart by an earthquake and reunites. Metin is a journalist who is tracking down a legacy document. With Serçe Zeki as his guide, he travels all over Anatolia to find the document. Azize is a blind girl with a beautiful voice. She joins a traveling troupe to escape the abuse of her alcoholic stepfather. She joins this troupe on their Anatolian tour. Boncuk Ayşe is a mother who lost her children in the great earthquake and travels from city to city searching for them by selling trinkets. These people, who set out for various cities in Anatolia, occasionally cross paths. In one of these encounters, a murder committed by someone tracking their trail will unravel the web of relationships.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
