Synopsis

The story follows three main characters: Clarisse, an apprentice to a psychic; Lazare, who works in the Parisian catacombs; and a bronze lion statue located at the Denfert-Rochereau metro station in the 14th arrondissement. Clarisse and Lazare meet regularly, but one day, both Lazare and the lion statue vanish without explanation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
