Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.

Ben Croll TheWrap Rather than interrogating the very world it creates, “Another End” hews another, easier path, turning around familiar notions of star-crossed romance resonating from beyond the afterlife Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express A film of intrigue and simmering power... Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Diego Semerene Slant Magazine Despite its initially familiar trajectory, Another End disarmingly and purposefully sweeps us away on a wave of apathy not unlike that which plagues its main character, challenging our sense of who we fundamentally are as humans. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Nicolás Medina Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat We all like to watch these miserable characters tormented by their bad decisions, approaches, their relationship with the AI. And, arguably, the value of the film, is not so much in itself. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/10 May 24, 2024 Full Review James Mottram South China Morning Post As a sideways look at the way humans struggle to let go, it offers a controlled and cohesive experience. Rated: 3.5/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage ... In its search, the movie leaves us stuck in a love story amidst the shadows sprinkled with cheesy moments of tonal wavering.

Movie Info

Synopsis Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.
