Synopsis

Five feminist activists from Marseille, each enduring unique forms of male domination in work and home life, unite over their shared frustrations. Their anger peaks after watching renowned writer Toussaint's overt machismo and commercial pandering during a televised book launch. In a bold move against his phallocratic image, they kidnap him, expecting to expose his true nature. However, as events unfold, Toussaint gradually reveals a sensitive, conflicted side that challenges his public persona. Humor and satire drive this escapade, critiquing traditional gender roles and societal expectations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
