Synopsis

Gemma and Richard, a young couple expecting their first child, have recently purchased their first home and are settling into their new life. However, their peace is disrupted by constant screaming and shouting coming through the walls from the house next door. As the noises continue at all hours, Gemma begins to believe she also hears cries and smacking sounds, which she interprets as a toddler being abused. The couple has only once seen the child, but not since. Driven by a sense of moral duty, Gemma and Richard attempt to investigate what is happening next door. When social services dismiss their concerns, Gemma becomes increasingly fixated on uncovering the truth, leading her to spy on the neighbors, raising unsettling questions about who the real perpetrator might be — the neighbors, or Gemma herself.

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.
