Synopsis

Koen, a handsome and sharp final-year law student, avoids being attacked by street thugs by claiming to be the maternal cousin of crime boss Henk de Koning. The following day, "uncle" Henk commends Koen's quick thinking and enlists his "cousin" to help recover a treasure believed to be hidden by the disloyal Henk accomplice Sjon de Nooyer. Sjon, recently released from prison, is now living in a retirement home, where Henk sends Koen to work as an orderly, pretending to be Sjon's distant relative. Meanwhile, corrupt police detective Uitenhaage is also after the same fortune and separately pressures the unsuspecting Koen to spy on Sjon.

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.
