Synopsis

A humanistic drama about an encounter in the life of a woman around the age of 40, set during the Obon season when the living take time to reflect on the dead. Director Fukuma Kenji is also a poet and a university professor. Chikage (Yoshino Akira) is reunited with Shohei (Suzuki Tsunekichi), a man she once lived together with, and his daughter Saki (Kohara Saori). After several twists and turns, Chikage and Shohei come to share the same roof again, but Saki is unable to accept it. Then one year later during Obon, relations eventually thaw between Chikage and Saki.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
