'The Last Days of the World') is a 2009 apocalyptic comedy-drama film written and directed by Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu, based on the 1991 novel Les Derniers Jours du monde by Dominique Noguez.
[2][a] The film depicts the story of a man, Robinson, who travels across France and Spain during the end of the world.
The previous year, while visiting his parents with his wife Chloé and daughter Mélanie, he sees a very attractive woman, Laetitia, on the beach and falls hopelessly in love with her.
In the present, Robinson is looking for a notebook; the saleswoman, Ombeline, tells him that paper has become scarce and all she can offer is a cooking book with blank spaces for notes.
In the past, Laetitia has suddenly left Robinson; she is into pornography and prostitution, although she denies having any sexual involvement with her "clients".
Theo tells him a story about the time he was a music teacher to the Marquise d'Arcangues, who had a baby by him, that included Iris, who is tending the bar.
In the present, Biarritz is suddenly evacuated; Robinson decides to go to Zaragoza, Spain, to track Laetitia down.
Suddenly, there are terrorist attacks in Pamplona and the two leave for a hotel in the mountains; Ombeline manages to secure a suite that is usually reserved for the Royal Family.
She then decides to stay and, as she goes off to tell her party to leave, a terrorist attacks the van killing all; Robinson is injured by the debris.
She tells him of a castle where there is a fall-out shelter and she knows the code to enter, they stop to eat in a country hotel where all the guests are dead.
Robinson reaches the castle and enters with the code, he finds a decadent party going on where all the guests are enjoying their last moments on earth before going into the shelter.
Robinson breaks the news of Iris' death to the Marquise, who lays down in bed with a crucifix on her chest.
As he wanders through the castle, he finds all the guests dead in the main salon; the servants poisoned the martinis to take over the shelter.
