Synopsis

Cacai, a Chinese farmer-turned-internet influencer, has dedicated his life to building innovative passive solar greenhouses to withstand Alberta’s unforgiving climate. Inspired by his vision, a group of Chinese fathers joins him in pursuing sustainable farming, each bringing their hopes for the future. Over the course of a year, we meet their families, who are each as distinct as the vegetables they grow, with relationships that require just as much care and attention.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
