The Mirror
A dying man confronts fragmented memories of his childhood, love, and war, as he struggles to reconcile personal loss with the sweeping tides of Soviet history.
Synopsis
A man in his forties on his deathbed reflects on his childhood, his mother, the war, and personal experiences that intertwine and contrast significant events in Soviet history with the routines of everyday life.

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.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution.
