Synopsis

Celestine takes a new job as a chambermaid for the eccentric M. Monteil, his wife, and his father. After the father's death, Celestine decides to resign and leave. However, when a young girl is raped and murdered, she suspects the Monteils' groundskeeper, Joseph, of the crime and chooses to stay in order to prove his guilt. Using her sexuality and the promise of marriage, she attempts to coerce a confession from Joseph, but the situation does not unfold as she expects.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
