Synopsis

Dr. Harry Wolper, with the assistance of his student assistant Boris and using stolen university equipment, initiates a cloning project aimed at replicating his deceased wife. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he meets Meli, an egg donor for the experiment, and they develop feelings for each other. As Wolper struggles to choose between his late wife and Meli, his perspective shifts when Boris's new romantic interest, Barbara, falls into a coma. At the same time, another professor attempts to shut down the controversial cloning project.

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.
