Abstract
"It's Only the End of the World" is a work that expresses in depth the perception, attitude, and reflection of a person's death. Composed of a simple story of a protagonist who has been diagnosed with AIDS and has been visiting his hometown for the first time in 12 years, this work constantly asks us what a family is in this process. The visit, which aims to inform one's condition, restore the relationship with his family as he wished, and foremost but in a beautiful parting, reveals the feelings of resentment, hatred and criticism between the family members who have been hiding or trying to accept. Are family relationships always understood and must be forgiven and cared for? The director looks into the abyss of the relationship and reveals the painful truth we wanted to hide. And we realize that this painful truth is a reality. Louis's negative stance, and the complaints and dissatisfaction of the family members who were waiting for him were absolutely inadequate in narrowing the gap. This family, each of whom has a wound and does not really understand each other, shows a deep bond of feelings toward each other, though they are tied together in a 'family' community.
