Synopsis

Tolya Sidorov is a simple worker in early retirement age living in a remote part of Russia. He unexpectedly discovers his artistic talent and becomes a sensation in the world of modern art. This occurs because the creation of his masterpieces takes place during a very intimate moment. His fame as an unusual artist spreads across the Internet, and even experts from Moscow come to visit an exhibition of Anatoly’s urinary paintings. Like in a Russian fairy tale, the hero is miraculously showered with recognition and money. However, Tolya prefers to remain incognito, trying to understand whether his work is real art. The men from the factory would laugh at him if they found out.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
