Synopsis

A remote village in the Northwest of Russia features a mental asylum housed in an old wooden building. The location and its inhabitants appear untouched by modern civilization. In this isolated environment, articulate human speech is absent, and pain is subdued. The landscapes and structures are not so much occupied as they are gently intertwined with and traversed by their nameless residents, as if by a drifting mist. These figures seem neither fully present nor entirely dissolved in a spectral realm—perhaps remnants of a forgotten society.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
