Until the End
DIRECTOR / TIM BARY
In their home besides a lighthouse in a Dutch town, Tom (72) and Jantje (66) share a life defined by care. Since Jantje suffered a stroke nearly seven years ago, leaving her bedridden, her body has weakened—but their love remains as strong as ever. While Jantje leans on Tom for daily support, she continues to be his emotional and mental anchor. Yet as the burden of care grows heavier, Tom, too, begins to physically decline. The question they long avoided now becomes unavoidable: What happens when they can no longer manage together? UNTIL THE END is a moving documentary about the power of love, the weight of caregiving, and the resilience of two people who carry everything together—until they can’t anymore.
