Synopsis

Francis is a young gay man, and Marie is a young straight woman, and the two are best friends—until the day the attractive Nicolas enters a Montreal coffee shop. Both friends are instantly and equally infatuated with Nicolas, and they compete for his ambiguous affections, a rivalry that reaches its peak when the trio visits the vacation home of Nicolas' mother. The lighthearted comedy is presented through narrative, fantasy sequences, and confessional monologues.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× 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).
