The Cousins
Synopsis
Young provincial Charles arrives in Paris to stay with his cousin Paul while studying law. Paul is a decadent, bohemian pleasure-seeker who introduces the meek, diligent Charles to the thrills of city life. When Charles falls for Florence, one of Paul's lovers, he becomes entangled in a complex web of desire, jealousy, and moral conflict.

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.
