Synopsis

A documentary film. The monotonous existence of the underage residents at the Home for Oligophrenics, designated as No. 8, is marginally diversified by preparations for Children's Day. Marching and gymnastic routines are being rehearsed. In instances where the impaired children fail to perform adequately, physical violence is administered. Every effort is made to ensure the institution presents a favorable image to the ministerial superiors. Conversely, these children, disadvantaged by nature, find their own small joys—some enjoy singing, others dancing, and some playing football. However melancholic life at Home No. 8 may appear, it remains a genuine sunlit paradise compared to the destination awaiting everyone who reaches the age of 18: the home for adult oligophrenics No. 6.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
