Synopsis

The exhausted man spends his days in despair, wondering what the point of marriage is. One day, his wife suddenly dies and he receives an insurance payout of 35 million yen. In an instant, the man became a wealthy bachelor. He was filled with joy and playfulness, but by chance, he became close to a housewife who lived in the same apartment complex and had been interested in him for some time. Unlike his wife, the housewife did all the housework with ease, and she was also kind and accepting of men when it came to sex. Impressed by the idea that she is the ideal wife, he offers to buy her for 30 million yen from her husband...

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
