Synopsis

Elisabeth and her brother Paul live in isolation after Paul is injured during a snowball fight. To cope, they create a hermetic dream of their own making. Their relationship is not wholly wholesome; jealousy and a malevolent undercurrent appear when Elisabeth invites the strange Agathe to stay with them, and Paul becomes immediately attracted to her.

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.
