Synopsis

Every year, five old friends gather at a remote chalet in the snowy wilderness of Canada. Henri, his wife Apolline, his brother-in-law Maxence, and friends Jean and Paul look forward to a peaceful ski holiday filled with board games and good food. However, on the first day, Henri reveals that he is aware of the affair between Apolline and Jean. The revelation casts a heavy shadow over the isolated group, and as tensions rise, a spiral of jealousy and sadism leads to one of them being killed.

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.
