Synopsis

The aging Dr. Johannes Jensen still cannot come to terms with the fact that his wife died in an avalanche during a mountain hike they took together twenty years ago. When a young couple plans to climb the same mountain, Jensen fears that the incident might repeat itself. He tries in vain to dissuade them from their plan. When they get into trouble, Jensen manages to save them, sacrificing his own life in the process.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
