Synopsis

During the Iran-Iraq War, Shideh's building is struck by a missile. A superstitious neighbor suggests the missile was cursed and may carry malevolent Middle-Eastern spirits. Shideh becomes convinced that a supernatural force within the building is trying to possess her daughter, Dorsa, and realizes she must confront these forces to save both her daughter and herself.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
