Official synopsis

While isolated women hope for a more dignified habitat for their families, the town hall accompanies them as best it can. At the same time, young footballers are preparing a tournament in Clairefontaine, i.e. the temple of men's football, and high school students are inventing a theatrical show around the assassination of Chilperic in the neighboring forest. “The End of Kings” stands as a fascinating reflection on a possible new distribution of roles between today’s and tomorrow’s girls and boys.
