Tras doce años de ausencia, un escritor regresa a su pueblo natal para anunciar a su familia que se está muriendo. A medida que el resentimiento reescribe el transcurso de la tarde, los conflictos se desatan alimentados por la duda y la soledad, entre las cinco personas reunidas en la casa familiar. Mientras, cualquier intento por empatizar se ve saboteado por la incapacidad de las personas para escuchar y amar. Sólo el fin del mundo (Juste la fin du monde) supone la adaptación cinematográfica de la obra de teatro homónima de Jean-Luc Lagarce.
Screenplay
What is it to be a dancer? Why this choice of life? Films about dance, we've seen plenty! Yet, the daily life of dancers remains something of a mystery. We'd like to hear their side of the story for once. There were six of us learning ballet in the hope of making a career of it. May 1997, we danced our first ballet together. It's with archive footage of this event, found on an old, stashed-away video cassette, that this film begins. The years have passed. All 5 of them have evidently become professional dancers. I will go off to meet them, and they will tell me what life is like as a dancer.
