Aidshilfe Leipzig präsentiert: EINFACH DAS ENDE DER WELT / JUSTE LA FIN DU MONDE

Despite his fear, Luis returns home after 12 years to announce his death in person. Director Xavier Dolan succeeds in creating an emotionally moving film about speechlessness and a lack of empathy. For many queer people, this is part of the reality in their families of origin. At the same time, the film shows why queer people cut themselves off emotionally from their families of origin and still feel a sense of obligation towards them. Overall, the film paints a bleak picture of family relationships. Speechlessness towards one's own family, parents and siblings predominates, even when the time comes to say goodbye forever.

The film is based on a play by Jean-Luc Lagarce, who died of AIDS in Paris in 1995 at the age of 38.

Following the film, we would like to invite you to an informal discussion on the topics of queer life, family and HIV.
