Synopsis

Maxime and Paulo are two young men in their very early twenties. Maxime is spending his summer holidays with his parents at a camping resort, a place he dislikes, while Paulo is working at a nearby cafeteria. The two aim to win a cruise to Bora-Bora by collecting capsules from pop-soda bottles. They are just one capsule short, which is found by Penelope, who works at the local supermarket. Unfortunately for them, Penelope is not considered very attractive. To obtain the missing capsule, Maxime and Paulo convince Penelope that Paulo is going on the cruise with her. However, Maxime secretly joins them in Penelope's old car, as they travel to Marseille, where the cruise ship departs. The boys' true plan is to steal the capsule from Penelope and get rid of her so they can go on the cruise together. Along the way to Marseille, they encounter two very unusual elderly people, Hermine and Gaspard.

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.
