Synopsis

After years of traveling, Anya's parents decide to return from Australia to their native France, and she must attend a public school for the first time in her life. However, normal everyday school life quickly causes problems for the girl. On the first day, she is struck in the head with a soccer ball, and when no one apologizes, a violent argument immediately ensues. This incident marks a rocky start with the locals. Anya becomes an outsider, a status that does not particularly bother her. However, Zoé, Nils, and Jade, who are also somewhat different, take her under their wing, forming a new group. Meanwhile, Anya would prefer to befriend Nathan, the son of the school director, but he gives her the cold shoulder, as it would not be cool to show interest in girls in front of his friends. At the same time, the girls devise a plan to establish their place in the schoolyard. A real conflict erupts between the students, pitting the girls against the boys. But how far can a dispute between children go?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
