Synopsis

An alcoholic former football player spends his days drinking, unable to reconcile his sexuality and his true feelings for his deceased football teammate, whose death followed an ambiguous accident. His wife suffers from the desperation of trying to rekindle his interest in her, but he resists her affections. A reunion with his father, who is dying of cancer, brings up a range of memories and revelations for both of them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
