"The End We Start From" is a post-apocalyptic drama that revolves around a world devastated by an environmental disaster. The story follows a young pregnant woman who embarks on a perilous journey to find safety and a future for her unborn child. Along the way, she encounters various characters, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The movie explores themes of hope, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity to endure in the face of catastrophic change.
Based on Megan Hunter’s celebrated debut novel, the film avoids the typical disaster movie tropes. There are no generals shouting orders or scientists explaining tectonic shifts. Instead, we follow "Woman" (Comer) as London is suddenly submerged by a catastrophic flood. As society collapses around her—marked by food shortages, refugee crises, and the haunting silence of drowned suburbs—she gives birth to her son, "Zeb."
