Synopsis

The story explores the breakdown of a marriage due to overwhelming jealousy, the abandonment of a child, and an enduring but impossible love. Ultimately, through feelings of remorse and regret—and following a miraculous moment in which a statue comes to life—the narrative concludes with themes of forgiveness and reconciliation. Wheeldon continues his successful partnership with designer Bob Crowley and composer Joby Talbot, the creative team behind *Alice*, in one of the standout productions of The Royal Ballet Season.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
