The End of the World is an original story of grandpa Igor, a son of Russian aristocrats, and his 9-year-old grandson Tonda, taking place during complicated times around 1968. It is a story full of contrasts, whether in the relation between what grandpa's plentiful life entails and Tonda's imminent children's presence, or between poetry and fine humour and dramatic situations of military occupation. Or generally, between everyday worries of a person and the pressure of great history. On grandpa's life-story, mapping a big part of the 20th century traumas, one can see how much an individual's fate depends on the course of history, and to what extend one can defy it and maintain inner firmness and integrity. Or perhaps just dear life.
