Synopsis

A government bureaucrat named Ludvik grows suspicious when several colleagues vanish and he overhears an odd conversation at a cocktail party. After returning home with his wife, Anna, he discovers that their house is under surveillance and spends a tense night concerned about the possibility of being arrested in the morning. As they try to appear normal before the cameras, marital difficulties emerge, forcing Ludvik and Anna to confront their problems out of view.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
