Synopsis

*Rusalochka* opens in modern-day Copenhagen, Denmark, where several tourists gather around the city's famous mermaid statue as a tour guide explains its significance. A fish in the water below scoffs at their foolishness and proceeds to recount the doomed love of the mermaid. Upon reaching her 15th birthday, the Little Mermaid is allowed to swim to the surface. As soon as she does, she spots a young prince caught in a dreadful storm. She admires his bravery and decides to save him, declaring, "The beautiful and the brave should not perish." After returning to the ocean, she decides that she wants to become human.

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.
