Synopsis

In 1950s communist Czechoslovakia, a government minister and war veteran, who has remained a loyal member of the party, enjoys a relatively comfortable life with his wife. He soon finds himself under surveillance and then arrested. The nature of his alleged offense remains unclear, but agents of the totalitarian regime interrogate and torture him, using their unchecked authority to extract a false confession for supposed crimes against the state.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
