Synopsis

The Fan family struggled with expressing love even before the death of their son, Wei. Following his loss, they became more emotionally distant. Lei-Ya, the mother, began spending excessive time caring for street cats, while Qing, the daughter, moved out and seldom returned home. Yan-Ming, the father, attempted to maintain normalcy by appearing cheerful and polite to those around him. Eight years later, the three family members, each carrying unresolved disappointment and anxiety, reunite in their old home. What begins as a seemingly happy gathering soon turns tense as they are forced to confront their lingering grief and pain.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
