Synopsis

Charyarsaba, an isolated mountain village in Nepal. Living here means working hard for one's food and worshipping one's ancestors and the gods, who guarantee a continued existence and provide protection from evil. The residents of this village at the foot of the Himalayas long for "another place" where, as they understand it, one only needs money to be happy and technology makes work easier.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
