“Light from the End of the World” tells a story about the creation of the world, the birth of mankind, the loss of harmony, the greed, the destruction of the old world – and the possibility of a new world. When facing apocalypse, humans expose their darkest impulses as well as hidden tenderness. Superficiality is cast aside, and the crisp reality of human existence is the last thing that the old world witnesses. But, amidst destruction there dawns the possibility of the birth of a new world. The various phases of birth and destruction are being connected by the development of the heroine, who follows the rise and fall of the world, but whose path leads her away from the mainstream humankind.
