Synopsis

A young woman urgently attempts to navigate contemporary Taipei and secure her future, believing that her boyfriend Lung holds the key to that future. However, Lung is trapped in a past defined by baseball and traditional loyalty, which leads him to deplete his savings while bailing her father out of financial trouble.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
