Synopsis

A young Polish nobleman named Jakub is rescued from imprisonment by a stranger, who in return demands a list of Jakub’s fellow conspirators. As Jakub travels with his enigmatic savior across the country, he becomes increasingly disturbed by the surrounding chaos and moral decay. This exposure leads to his mental breakdown, and he eventually descends into madness, becoming a mass murderer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
