When a 60-year-old businessman suffers a catastrophic stroke, leaving him totally paralysed and uncommunicative, his view that the world in which we live in is absurd is put to the test as he faces the prospect of death.
He considers but is not tempted to believe in a God. He dismisses the idea and, although stressed at the thought, feels that he faces nonexistence, convinced that he will return to the state he was in before his conception.
As his wife and children await his passing while he lies in hospital, we learn that his life has been complex in recent times, leaving the family facing compounded grief. He was not the man they thought they knew.
It Always Ends contrasts existential and religious views of living and dying.
