What Happens at the End of The Time That Remains?

How The Time That Remains (2025) ends, in short: the final scene, the last twist and what it means for the characters. The full ending explained, with every spoiler, lives on its own page.

Read the full ending explained

In the film’s closing moments Lilia’s long‑run battle with history finally catches up with her. After a home invasion leaves her gravely wounded, the police—still haunted by Officer Angua’s decades‑old hunt for the undying creature that has stalked Lilia—raid her house. By the time they break in, Lilia has already slipped away, her life ending not with a grand sacrifice but with quiet resignation. The only trace she leaves behind is the strange necklace that has long been Matias’ talisman.

The sunrise that follows is not a sign of hope for the immortal. Matias, the centuries‑old warrior turned vampire‑cat who has refused Lilia’s offer of eternal life, steps into the daylight and lets the sun finish what his endless nights could not: he ends his own existence. The camera lingers on the discarded necklace, now held by Angua as proof that the legend was real, while the police file closes on the case that has defined his career.

The final frame shifts to a passport clasped in the hand of Isabela, the young nurse who befriended Lilia in the hospital. She is about to leave the country, a visual reminder that the story’s true legacy is not the supernatural, but the human connections Lilia forged. Her decision to remain mortal—turning down Matias’ gift—echoes through the ending: she chose a finite life filled with love, loss, and moments of peace rather than an endless existence shadowed by fear and persecution. In dying together, Lilia and Matias close the loop on a life that had become too bitter to sustain, while their deaths give Angua the closure he sought and allow the next generation—embodied by Isabela—to move forward, unburdened by the curse of immortality.
