Life is a force of nature

Synopsis

The O'Neill family lived in their home in the Australian countryside until Peter, the father, died unexpectedly, leaving his wife Dawn to care for their four children. Eight‑year‑old Simone refuses to accept her father's death and believes he remains alive inside the large fig tree near the house, communicating with her through its leaves. As the tree grows increasingly invasive and threatens the home, it must be cut down, a decision Simone opposes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
