Seeking a Friend for the End of the World stars Golden Globe Award winner Steve Carell and Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley and is the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria. Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity's last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Mr. Carell) and Penny (Ms. Knightley) converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks - if not the world's - brighten.-----Que feriez-vous si la fin du monde arrivait dans 3 semaines ? C'est la question que toute l?humanité est obligée de se poser après la découverte d'un astéroïde se dirigeant tout droit vers notre planète. Certains continuent leur routine quotidienne, d'autres s'autorisent tous les excès, toutes les folies. Dodge est quant à lui nouvellement célibataire, sa femme ayant décidée que finalement, elle préférait encore affronter la fin du monde sans son mari. Il décide alors de partir à la recherche de son amour de jeunesse, qu'il n'a pas vu depuis 25 ans. Mais sa rencontre avec Penny risque de bouleverser tous ses plans.
