Through a Glass Darkly
A fragile young woman retreats to a remote island hoping her summer stay will restore her mind, but haunting visions and mounting family tensions push her toward a terrifying psychological collapse.
Synopsis
Karin hopes to recover from her recent stay at a mental hospital by spending the summer at her family's cabin in the woods. She is joined by her older sister, Laura, and their father, who are unaware of her condition. As the days pass, Karin begins to experience strange visions and disturbing behavior, which cause tension within the family and blur the lines between reality and her deteriorating mental state.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 8
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.
