Synopsis

Is there an adventure, a drama, a more exciting suspense than that offered to us by the laborious research of the scientist on the lookout for the great secret of his origins? The film begins at the extreme limit of this noble uncertainty. Thirty million centuries ago. Three billion years. Already two proposals are offered to this uncontrollable search: the Earth will warm up or cool down? These first images, which represent the consent of the majority of scientists, attempt to show us the thermal fluctuations which govern the formation of this puffy meringue which will solidify: the earth of men.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
