Synopsis

Autobiographical reflections on raising children include the moment of birth, cutting the umbilical cord, and a baby placed between sheets of music. Mimi plays the violin in an educational manner, though it has no strings, offers her breast, and engages with the child in a performance that is both improvised and emotionally intense. She then shifts into Dadaistic expressions, allowing the blood to dance, and carries the child into the vastness of the world.

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.
