Synopsis

After the florist dies, good people take in her daughter. She grows into a beautiful girl and becomes a dancer. Three men fall in love with her at the same time, each of them representing different character traits, and their material position is also different. The first is a count - a low-life, whose advances the girl quickly rejects. The second is a wealthy doctor, a mature and upright man, with whom the girl becomes engaged. There is also a third - a poor painter, a friend of childhood years. At some point the girl becomes convinced that it is the painter who loves her with his one and only love. So she returns the ring to the doctor, gives up her prosperity and decides to bind her poor but happy future to the painter.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
