Synopsis

Thomas, a young German baker, is in an affair with Oren, an Israeli man who is married and frequently travels to Berlin for business. When Oren dies in a car accident in Israel, Thomas goes to Jerusalem to find answers about his death. Assuming a false identity, Thomas moves into the life of Anat, Oren’s newly widowed wife, who runs a small café in downtown Jerusalem. He begins working for her, making German pastries that help revitalize her business. As he becomes more involved in Anat’s life than he anticipated, Thomas finds himself stretching his deception further, eventually reaching a point from which there is no return.

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.
