Synopsis

Igor, 15, and his father Roger are involved in real estate and the exploitation of illegal labor in the outskirts of Liège, Belgium. Deception, falsehoods, and exploitation define their way of life. When one of Roger’s undocumented workers is injured and asks Igor to promise to care for his wife and child, Igor faces a moral dilemma. He is torn between fulfilling the promise and betraying his father.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
