Juste La Fin Du Monde

After twelve years of absence, a writer returns to his hometown to announce to his family that he is dying. As resentment rewrites the course of the afternoon, conflicts unleash fueled by doubt and loneliness. Meanwhile, any attempt to empathize is sabotaged by people's inability to listen and love.

It's Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du monde) is based on the play by Jean-Luc Largarce.

The film will be shown in its original language (French) with Spanish subtitles.

“A cinematographic manifesto” (…) “Xavier Dolan is capable and is willing to reinvent the cinema: it is not the end of the world, it is the beginning of a new one.” —ICS
