A Late Quartet
A world-renowned string quartet faces the unraveling of their personal and professional lives when their cellist is diagnosed with a terminal illness, forcing them to confront buried tensions and the possibility of their final performance.
“No arrangement is more beautiful … or more complicated.”
Synopsis
A world-renowned string quartet faces an uncertain future when their beloved cellist is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. As suppressed emotions, competing egos, and uncontrollable passions begin to surface, the group's long-standing friendship and collaboration are put to the test. With their 25th anniversary concert—potentially their last—approaching, the quartet must rely on their deep bond and the power of music to safeguard their legacy.

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.
