After the End

Former train commander reflects on the decay of railways and his trajectory on the railroads.

Why watch this film?

A sad portrait of the railways in the city of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. What used to be part of Brazil's history now faces a situation of abandonment. 'Depois do Fim' is a sensitive, beautiful and poetic documentary. Director Álvaro de Carvalho Neto made his debut in feature films with this movie and showed that he has a promising future. Carvalho Neto made use of old images, without exaggeration, and brought an interesting montage, contrasting the past with the future - and highlighting the typical architectures of the stations, which brings a very strong symbolism when showing the abandonment of these places. 'Depois do Fim' is an excellent documentary for those who like history and architecture.
