Using memories and family archives, the director tells the story of her great-uncle Fernando, who lived most of his life as a merchant in São Tomé de Negrelos, Santo Tirso. Uncle Fernando's story and the romanticization of his death is the starting point for an exploration of this theme from memories and personal conceptions about the end of things. I fear the end of things tells stories built entirely from memory. It seeks to establish a social and economic context of São Tomé de Negrelos and Vila das Aves between the 1950s and the 1970s through the documentary narrative of Fernando's life.
