In This Corner of the World
A young woman brings warmth and creativity to a war-torn Japanese harbor town, finding beauty and resilience in the face of loss and destruction.
“Torn apart by war. Brought together by love.”
Synopsis
Japan, 1943, during World War II. Young Suzu leaves her village near Hiroshima to marry and live with her in-laws in Kure, a military harbor. Her creativity in overcoming deprivation quickly makes her indispensable at home. Inhabited by ancestral wisdom, Suzu impregnates the simple gestures of everyday life with poetry and beauty. The many hardships, the loss of loved ones, and the frequent air raids of the enemy do nothing to alter her enthusiasm.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
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.
