Synopsis

At a time when everything has been stopped by the pandemic, reality seems to be infinitely dilated, forcing the protagonists of this film to find new tools to cope with everyday life. Taking inspiration from a lucid dream and a carefully studied turtle, Costanza decides to follow her girlfriend on an archaeological campaign on the island of Ustica. The first lockdown will force the couple to postpone their planned meeting and to analyse with different eyes the existential and physical emptiness, sanctioned by the new historical course. Through the excavations and the camera, we witness an attempt to find deeper connections with the past and the place of origin. A semi-fable about time and history, observed through the eyes of impatience.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
