Synopsis

It is night on a bridge in Paris when a girl named Adele, overcome with sorrow and on the verge of tears, leans over the Seine River, contemplating drowning her troubles. Unexpectedly, someone takes notice of her—Gabor, a knife thrower in need of a human target for his performance. Adele, who has known little luck and has nowhere else to turn, decides to follow him. Together, they travel along the northern coast of the Mediterranean, performing as they go.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
