Synopsis

An aging man, recently widowed and reluctant to spend his first Christmas alone, sees an advertisement in the newspaper that reads: "You are not alone. We make social arrangements of all kinds." He visits the Social Arranger and makes it clear that his only interest is in "social company." He is then introduced to a woman who agrees to spend the holiday with him. She asks him not to inquire about her personal life, as she carries a secret that could jeopardize their growing bond and ultimately alter the course of both their lives.

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.
