Crash. Suddenly everything is different. From one moment to the next. The future is new, life is strange. After the parents of Liz, Marty and Jules Moreau are tragically killed in a car accident, the siblings lose touch with each other. They end up at boarding school, in different dormitories, and grow apart. Jules, the youngest of the three siblings, finds solace in his loneliness with Alva. He falls in love with her, but they too lose touch after leaving school. Thirty years later, Jules remembers who he was, who he became and who he actually wanted to be. He remembers his attempts to overcome his loss. He remembers the lasting grief, the loneliness, but also the heartbreakingly happy days. Falling in love, missing someone, finding someone else. He remembers his family, his friends, the changes and the unchanging things in each of us. And he remembers Alva, over and over again. He remembers a damn big love story. He remembers the end of loneliness.
After productions such as Club 27, Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf? (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and Der Kissenmann (The Pillowman), Guy Clemens continues his work as a director at the Schauspielhaus Bochum. With Benedict Wells' successful novel Vom Ende der Einsamkeit (The End of Loneliness), he tells of nothing less than life and what it does to us.
