Synopsis

Fausta is afflicted with a rare condition known as the Milk of Sorrow, which is passed to children through the breast milk of pregnant women who were abused or raped during or shortly after their pregnancies. As she struggles with the ongoing effects of the disease—marked by fear and confusion—she is further devastated by the sudden death of her mother. Determined not to follow the same path as her mother, Fausta takes extreme actions to break the cycle.

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.
