Synopsis

Young Marcel Pagnol and his family return to their home in Marseille, France, much to his dismay, leaving behind their rural holiday cottage in the hills. Undeterred, Marcel embarks on the long journey to the cottage on foot, which results in him getting into trouble. One day, Marcel's father discovers a shortcut to the cottage, though it involves trespassing. Despite their hesitation, Marcel and his family begin using the hidden path to access their cottage.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
