Two men meet by chance while in Barcelona. What seems like a one-night encounter between two strangers becomes an epic,
decades-spanning relationship, in which time and space refuse to play by the rules.
Director's statement: “I started writing ‘End of the Century’ with the curiosity to confront a character in the present with the same character twenty years ago. The things that remained the same, the things that changed, and the things that he forgot he wanted. This exploration is presented in relation to another character with whom he has a sort of broken love story, twice. The remembrance of their first encounter (inexact and subjective as all remembrances are) pushes the main character to imagine a life lived together, placing memory and possibility in the same realm of the intangible.”
