Synopsis

Andreï Filipov, a former world-renowned conductor of the Bolshoï orchestra known as "The Maëstro," saw his career publicly ruined by Leonid Brezhnev for hiring Jewish musicians and now works as a cleaner in the concert hall where he once conducted. One day, he receives an official invitation from the prestigious Théâtre du Châtelet. Through a series of eccentric actions, he brings together his former orchestra, now made up of aging, alcoholic musicians, and travels to Paris to perform and complete the Tchaikovsky concerto that had been interrupted 30 years earlier. For the concerto, he recruits a young violin soloist with whom he forms an unexpected connection.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 26

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.
