Synopsis

This is a coming-out and first love story. The swimmer and diver Lucard is interested in Martin, who is attractive. The film follows the characters through the process of coming out, including its challenges, the bittersweet joys of first love, and the painful moment when one returns to reality and recognizes that one's beloved friend still has a difficult journey ahead. The positive message the film conveys is the somewhat common motto "Live each day of your life as if it were your last."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
