Synopsis

A Roman Catholic nun and a hardened U.S. Marine find themselves stranded together on a Japanese-occupied island in the South Pacific during World War II. Forced to remain hidden in a cave to avoid capture by a ruthless enemy, they rely on each other for survival, foraging for food and enduring the harsh conditions. As their time together progresses, the challenges they face foster a deep emotional connection between them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
