) reside at that place only. Justine struggles with the premonitions of a blue planet called Melancholia. John handled the cost of the wedding and other arrangements. Justine’s father is a selfish person. Hence, he doesn’t have a strong bond with her. However, her mother is honest, which defines her persona. Claire requests Justine to repress herself from the wedding, and after that, they both go see Melancholia approach earth.
During the wedding speech, Justine’s boss was hustling her to meet the work deadline. Her boss is ruthless and greedy, and he believes that things revolve around the work of tag lines to promote the business.
The second part deals with Justine’s relationship with her sister, Claire. The second part also follows Justine’s mental decay as the Melancholia collision approaches. John explains the reason Melancholia was blocking the stars from their view. During Justine’s depression, her sister Claire is unable to make her happy. Justine is so numb that even her favorite dish tastes of ash. Seeing all this, Claire becomes fearful that the end of the world is near, in spite of reassurance from her husband that everyone will be safe. She searches the internet and finds articles related to Melancholia. The other day, however, she realized that the Melancholia is circling back and will collide with earth.
As the world comes to an end, Justine as sturdy lady, Claire, and their young nephew sit under the magic cave.
