Synopsis

Nathalie is a philosophy teacher at a high school in Paris. She is dedicated to her work and takes particular joy in sharing the joy of critical thought with her students. She is married and has two children, and she balances her time among her family, former students, and her overbearing mother. When her husband unexpectedly announces that he is leaving her for another woman, Nathalie is forced to confront a new reality. Stripped of her previous routine, she must find a way to redefine her life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
