Floating Clouds
“So short is the life of a flower, yet so much hardships it suffered.”
Synopsis
A married Japanese forester stationed in Indochina during World War II is assigned to oversee forest management in the region. While there, he meets a young Japanese typist and promises to leave his wife. He does not follow through on this promise, and after the war ends, the typist returns to Japan, leading to the resumption of their affair.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
