Juste la fin du monde
I decided to go back to see them, retrace my steps, go in my footsteps and make the journey, to announce, slowly, carefully, carefully and precisely my imminent and irremediable death." (Louis)
After several years' absence, Louis returns to his family to find his mother, sister, brother and sister-in-law to announce his impending death.
But as the conversations unfold, the silence of all those years gives way to anger and reproach, straining this fragile family edifice.
