Candy
A charismatic poet falls for a free‑spirited art student, and their passionate romance spirals into a desperate struggle to survive the grip of heroin.
“More is never enough.”
Synopsis
A poet becomes enamored with an art student, who is drawn to his bohemian way of life—and his use of heroin. As their bond deepens, so does their dependency, both on each other and on the drug. Their relationship cycles through phases of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair.

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.
