Synopsis

Viridiana is preparing to begin her life as a nun when she is sent, somewhat reluctantly, to visit her aging uncle, Don Jaime, whom she has only met once before. Jaime, who supports her, believes she resembles his late wife. Viridiana has long harbored a deep dislike for her uncle, and her worst fears are confirmed when he becomes determined to seduce his innocent niece. As Jaime disrupts the plans she had made to enter the convent, Viridiana begins to unravel.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
