I count at least 5 speakers. A 13 year old Swiss girl, her 19 year old sister, their grandmother, their grandmother's sister, and the male film archivist. Perhaps the quality of the acting (and a talented subtitler) helped me render convincingly "real" speakers. I'm barely detectable in the third stanza, at fifth remove from the film's director, his editor, the character of the film archivist editing, and the lead character Lucy in her attempt to learn about her doppelganger by learning how to access images stuck in outdated formats.
