Synopsis

*Tarachime* is a documentary film that explores the concept of "life" through the experience of childbirth. Directed by Kawase Naomi, a filmmaker known for her work centered on family, life, and death, the film portrays the connection between lives through her personal experience of giving birth. Initially, Kawase intended to document the period from conception to birth, but during the filming process, she came to understand that the story was not simply about "one life." Ultimately, the film evolved into a broader depiction of the interconnection between lives.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
