Synopsis
Astronomer Martial Novalic discovers that a comet is on a collision course with planet Earth. With the end of the world well and truly nigh, Novalic tries to galvanise action that may save mankind from extinction. Meanwhile, his saintly brother, Jean, prays for a miracle. With civilisation on the brink of collapse, the governments of the world resort to increasingly brutal methods to maintain social order. Too late. Whilst some pray in desperation, others sate their animal appetites in one final orgy. It's The End...
