Synopsis

A soldier clad in body armor is stationed at his country's border. This is not a zone of conflict; no military activity occurs here. Instead, the only communication from the enemy territory comes in the form of radio waves carrying the speeches of its leader, Marehito, portrayed by Hideyo Amamoto (Yojimbo, Kamen Rider). The soldier's sole task is to monitor these broadcasts, and he has grown deeply weary of the dictator's rants. In his quarters lives a female android, a "comfort woman" provided by the government. He shares a quiet existence with his green-eyed ILYA Type 6, tending to his remote desert posting. This is the entirety of his life. One day, a military official visits his quarters. A personnel shift has occurred at the upper levels, and a minor policy change has been implemented. The ILYA Type 6 is to be upgraded.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
