Synopsis

The story of the difficult life of itinerant artists in Mexico and their futile dreams of happiness. Marin's father, a traveling artist, dreamed of saving money and sending his daughter to school.

When Maria and the aerial acrobat Maurimo fell in love and decided to get married to start a new life, their dreams were once again shattered by harsh reality—they worked in different troupes, and Maria could not leave her old, sick father...

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
