Youth
Two aging friends confront the passage of time and the meaning of legacy during a retreat in a Swiss Alps luxury lodge, as they face their regrets, dreams, and the uncertain paths of those they love.
Synopsis
Two lifelong friends form a bond while vacationing at a luxury lodge in the Swiss Alps, as they contemplate retirement. Fred has no intention of returning to his musical career, despite the encouragement of his loving daughter, Lena, while Mick is determined to complete the screenplay for what may be his final significant film, dedicated to his muse, Brenda. Meanwhile, their younger friend Jimmy, an actor, struggles to find clarity for his next performance.

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).
