Synopsis

Three interconnected stories take place in Tokyo. In one, Merde, an odd creature living in the sewers, climbs out of a manhole and attacks people on the street. He is later captured and taken to court, where he becomes aggressive in the face of hostility. In another, a man who has given up on social connections begins to rethink his isolation after meeting a friendly pizza delivery woman. Lastly, a cheerful couple experiences a sequence of unsettling transformations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 27

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.
