Vincent and the End of the World
Running time: 121 mins
Can Vincents crazy French aunt convince him that life is worth living? Seventeen-year-old Vincent drives his family crazy with his eco-warrior lifestyle, his attempts to reduce their carbon footprint, oh, and his tendencies to end his time on this planet. Such is the life of Vincent. But, his inner turmoil becomes something else when his joy-filled aunt comes to visit the family. Pessimism and optimism collide on a brash road trip to Paris, and Vincent isnt quite prepared for the effect his flame-haired, neurotic, booze-swilling, pill-popping and never afraid to speak her mind aunt has on his world. From the producers of Cinequest audience faves, The Over the Hill Band, Marry Me, and Moscow, Belgium, Christophe Van Rompaey (Moscow, Belgium) offers a poignant and often humorous depiction of todays youth, how an older generation cant understand them, and how maybe perhaps they can both find a middle ground upon which to fill the world with hope.
