Mother at 40
Synopsis
Béatrice Laune has enjoyed a successful career, most recently receiving the award for best advertising creativity of the year. Her dedication to her work has been unwavering throughout her professional life. However, she has been experiencing fainting spells whenever she encounters a baby. Medical experts have diagnosed these episodes as stemming from a repressed desire to have a child, as she approaches her 40th birthday. This issue has become a source of significant distress for Béatrice, leading her to become fixated on the idea of having a baby for her 40th birthday.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
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.
