An embittered law student commits a brutal double murder; a family man takes the fall
and is forced into a harsh prison sentence; a mother and her two children wander the
countryside looking for some kind of redemption. Lav Diaz’s epic reimagining of
Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment is both an intimate human drama and a cosmic
treatise on the origin of evil. Unfolding across the sun drenched fields and dark city
streets of the Filipino island of Luzon, Norte, The End of History is a tale of murder, hate
and hope from one of the world’s most uncompromising cinematic visionaries.
