What to Expect in Another End?
To help her grieving brother, Sal’s sister Ebe (Bérénice Bejo) suggests using ‘Another End,’ a new technology that “promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of a person who has died.” Sal recognizes Zoe and connects with her despite being in a different body.
“Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, and, ultimately, to say goodbye,” the official synopsis reads. “But this is a fragile, ephemeral, and insidious joy. When Sal reaches the end of the program, he has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife.”
Another End stems from writer-director Piero Messina, the Italian filmmaker best known for directing The Wait, starring Juliette Binoche. Messina co-wrote the screenplay with Giacomo Bendotti, Valentina Gaddi, and Sebastiano Melloni. Producers Nicola Giuliano, Francesca Cima, Carlotta Calori, Viola Prestieri, and Paolo Del Brocco. Indigo Film is producing the film with RAI Cinema.
