Synopsis

Mentally-challenged Fai (Eric Kot Manfai) lives a simple life with his mother, but he is eventually abandoned by her when she leaves him to get remarried. Living with a family friend, Fai bumps his head in a serious accident, and the subsquent surgery turns him into a genius. However, Fai's gain in intelligence also means the loss of the innocence he once had.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
