Synopsis

A car speeds down the road. On the road, Olivier and Angelina are hitchhiking. The kidnapping of a hitchhiker is never reported in the news. Angélina, kidnapped, is taken to a château for an evening of gallantry. She is made to drink, falls for a man, and the others take advantage of the situation, all night long. Olivier's situation, left alone on the road, doesn't improve. He's looking for Angelina. At the same time, the gendarmes are looking for the escapee from the Melun prison. Olivier, mistaken for the escapee, is pursued all night by the gendarmes. For both Angélina and Olivier, the night is one long corridor. In the morning, the outcome is brutal, inhuman. Angélina is left alone, naked.

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.
