Synopsis

In a rundown city street of her neighborhood, young Enola Penny becomes fascinated by what seems to be an abandoned theatre. One night she notices the front door slightly ajar and decides to slip inside. Inside the dark, deteriorating auditorium, a peculiar show begins, hosted by a human puppet named Peg Poett, who presents six bizarre stories: a couple traveling in a remote area of the French Pyrenees encounters a lustful witch; a paranoid lover confronts the fury of a partner pushed to her limit; an unfaithful husband's Freudian dreams blur fantasy and reality; real‑world horrors are interpreted through a child's mind; a woman addicted to other people's memories obtains them from the vitreous fluid of victims' eyes; and a couple obsessed with sweets experiences a sour outcome.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 39

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.
