For the End of Time (Za konec časa)

For the End of Time is a film about the
mind… a film about the body and our inability to merge these two
entities which are shaping a form of civilization known under the term
“human”. A human is not a being unto itself. A human is a construct… a
civilization-related coding of a certain precise time and place. A
human is not a uniform creature. A human is a split between many
things… but the worst is the split carried inside… that between the
mind and the body… How can we feel others, if the only universe that an
individual truly lives in and feels is his or her own universe? How can
you feel for the other… How can the other feel for you? Only as much
as the pain of the other resembles yours – thus as a reminiscence of
one’s own pain. This is the only way. For the End of Time is a film on a quest… for the eternal longing “to find the real thing”. Ema Kugler

There is no dialogue in the film. The story is told by Romana
Šalaher in Slovene, and by the famous American singer and performer
Lydia Lunch in English
