Synopsis

Oliveiro, a young poet living in Buenos Aires, occasionally sells his ideas to an advertising agency or trades poems for steak to support himself. In Montevideo he meets a prostitute named Ana and falls in love with her. Upon returning to Buenos Aires, he accepts a contract with a publicity agency to obtain the money needed for three days of intimacy with Ana. The story follows whether he achieves his goal as his ideal of love’s pleasure becomes literal levitation during lovemaking.

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.
