The River
Synopsis
A family resides in a remote village in Kazakhstan. They have five sons, with the eldest, Aslan, taking on the role of his father's deputy, overseeing the household's work and assigning tasks to his younger brothers. Aslan is fair and compassionate, often taking responsibility for his siblings' mistakes and shielding them from his father's reprimands. One day, Aslan takes the children to the river, where they enjoy a rare moment of joy as they swim in its deep waters. From that point on, life changes for the family. The children grow more diligent in their daily chores, and the river becomes a central part of their lives.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
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.
