Synopsis

A social worker whose husband has recently died begins investigating the enigmatic Wadsworth family. The household appears ordinary at first glance, comprising a mother, two adult daughters and an infant who remains in diapers and drinks from a bottle. The unsettling fact is that the infant is actually twenty‑one years old.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
