It's Only the End of the World (2016)

Haunted by the impending doom of a terminal illness, Louis, a 34-year-old gifted dramatist, decides to breach the 12-year abyss of absence that separates him from his estranged family. With a shroud of fear draped over his shoulders, he returns to the home he once abandoned without a backward glance. His aim is to share his somber fate, hoping to mend the fractures of lost time and misplaced affection. Yet, as he delves into the labyrinth of familial ties, Louis discovers that the familiar faces are nothing more than mirages of estrangement. He is caught in a whirlpool of resentment, his attempts at empathy drowned by the deafening silence of unspoken words. The afternoon unravels into a tapestry of fits and feuds, its threads dyed with the hues of solitude and skepticism. As the void between them widens, Louis grapples with the harsh reality that he is no longer the master of his life, but a puppet in the hands of his mortality. Amidst the simmering tension, the specter of death silently underlines the missed opportunities and the stubborn reluctance to listen and love. In the face of the looming end, will Louis manage to shatter the shackles of his past? Can he muster the courage to unearth the heavy secret buried beneath layers of unsaid words? As the story unfolds, it paints a profound exploration of life, death, and the intricate dance of human relationships in between.
