Three Men and a Cradle
“In one split second, their lives went from party to potty.”
Synopsis
Three young men—Jacques, Pierre and Michel—share an apartment in Paris and maintain numerous romantic relationships and frequent parties. During one party, a friend of Jacques informs him that he possesses a compromising package to deliver and asks whether it can be left discreetly at their residence; Jacques consents. Working as a steward, Jacques departs for a month‑long trip to Japan, informing Pierre and Michel about the pending package. While he is away, one of Jacques’s former girlfriends leaves a baby on their doorstep, leading Pierre and Michel to believe that the infant is the expected package, an event that dramatically alters their lives.

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.
