Flame & Citron

Two daring Danish resistance operatives, known as Flame and Citron, set out to eliminate Nazi collaborators behind enemy lines, only to confront a deadly web of betrayal and their own conscience as the line between patriotism and murder blurs.

Synopsis

Gunman Flame and his partner Citron carry out assassinations of Nazi collaborators on behalf of the Danish resistance. They receive their targets from their leader, Aksel Winther, who is connected to the Allies, and they take pleasure in the chance to start targeting Nazis directly. As they begin to question the legitimacy of their assignments, their already morally complex mission becomes even more intricate.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
