Synopsis

Plagued by his many fixations and obsessions with, among other things, the weather and sounds, 32-year-old Kees Momma tries to get through everyday life. Unexpectedly high temperatures for the time of year, doors that slam too loudly, a runny nose that is picked up loudly; these are annoyances that make the life of autistic Kees unbearable. It is thanks to his mother, who supports him unconditionally, that Kees survives in the outside world, which is so threatening to him. Subject to a strict daily rhythm, he makes long journeys every day in the autumn season as a passenger of his own model train.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
