Synopsis

The story follows a young woman whose body is discovered, prompting a police investigation. Evidence suggests that a man she was seen leaving a party with may be involved. When questioned, he asserts that her death was accidental, resulting from rough sex. However, her family remains skeptical and urges the district attorney's office to pursue murder charges against him. The man, aided by a skilled attorney, mounts a defense that ultimately shifts focus to the deceased woman, effectively placing her on trial.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
