Synopsis

Anna mistakenly chooses the wrong door and ends up confiding in a financial adviser named William Faber about her marital issues. Although moved by her distress and somewhat intrigued, Faber does not have the courage to reveal that he is not a psychiatrist. Over the course of their meetings, a peculiar routine develops between them. Faber is both touched and fascinated by the personal secrets Anna shares—secrets no man has ever heard from her.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.4× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
