Synopsis

A reformed mob hitman opens a tea restaurant with his wife after prison. His daughter conceals his criminal past out of shame, while his son idolizes it and gets into trouble with a local gangster. When a violent clash leaves the wife hospitalized, he's drawn back into his old life, confronting the gangster to protect his family.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.

Craft leads on file
