The Young Girls of Rochefort
Twin sisters in a sleepy French coastal town yearn for love and artistic passion, their lives intertwining with strangers during a vibrant fair in a dance of chance and longing.
“…They're singing and dancing in the streets.”
Synopsis
In the coastal town of Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange long for love and artistic fulfillment beyond their uneventful daily lives. During a weekend fair, as sailors, artists, musicians, and other visitors come and go, a series of near-misses and romantic yearnings unfold, bringing potential partners close—though none realize the connections between them.

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.
