Synopsis

An apartment, the status of which—whether inhabited or abandoned, whether its future occupants will arrive or have already perished—remains uncertain. A man's voice narrates, identifying objects and locations. Memories emerge. An orphan waits alone in the hallway among suitcases. His infancy is conveyed through the objects and perspectives visualized subjectively by the filmmakers. Fragments of stories. Condensed emotions. People become suddenly unsettling. Video technology outlines a series of transitions from reality to imagination, from truth to the narration of the present, from the probability of cathode imagery.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
