Autumn Sonata
A celebrated pianist returns home to reunite with her estranged daughter, hoping to bridge years of neglect, only to confront raw accusations and buried resentments that threaten to shatter their fragile bond.
Synopsis
After seven years apart, Charlotte Andergast returns to Sweden to reunite with her daughter, Eva. Their relationship is strained, as Charlotte prioritized her career as a classical pianist over her maternal duties. During an emotionally charged night, they confront the unresolved tensions of their past. Charlotte is further unsettled when she learns that her mentally impaired daughter, Helena, has been released from the asylum and is now living with Eva.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
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.
