Runtime

Synopsis

On a winter day, a woman stretches near a window before sitting in a bathtub of water. She appears content, with her lover nearby. The film includes close-ups of her face, her pregnant belly, and his hands caressing her. The birth begins: the crowning of the baby's head is shown, followed by the delivery. A pair of hands is seen tying and cutting the umbilical cord. With assistance, the mother expels the placenta. The infant, a baby girl, is shown nursing. The bath scene is revisited throughout the film. By the end, the father is visibly excited, while the mother and daughter rest.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
