Synopsis

Sumire has been working at “Snack Akemi” for the past three years. After returning home from shopping, the owner, Goro, entrusted her with the preparations for opening the bar, and he lay down on a box seat and puffed on a cigarette. Three years ago, Sumire, who had been selling her body to make ends meet, was found huddled on the street with blood all over her face after she was caught trying to skim off a customer’s money. She was saved by Goro, who was passing by at the time.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
