Synopsis

Due to a local blood feud, a peasant family decides to sell its sheep—an invaluable asset—in distant Ankara. During their lengthy train journey, they are forced to pay bribes to minor officials, some sheep are stolen, others die in the crowded, airless train cars, and the ailing wife of one of the family's sons worsens and becomes deathly ill.

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.
