Synopsis

It is a story about karma in a small village in northern China. A widower hunter lost his son while hunting in a wild mountain and decided to stay in the mountain, waiting for his son to come back. Seventeen years later, the hunter picked an abandoned baby in the wild bushes. With efforts to save the baby’s life, the hunter was dragged into the intricate connections of the villagers. The seemingly unrelated characters were strung by this baby, unveiling a picture of people living and struggling with their karma in the world.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
