I Am the End of the World

Luigi, a forty-year-old librarian from Rome, receives a bizarre letter: his former classmate, presumed dead since childhood, declares himself the end of the world and invites him to meet. Instead of an apocalypse, an absurd journey across Italy begins, where the protagonist confronts ghosts of the past, eccentric relatives, and his own unrealized dreams. This 2025 comedy transforms existential crisis into farce, exploring how we manufacture disasters from the mundane. Director Alessandro Gaddi reimagines Italian comedy, blending dark humor with warm nostalgia for provincial life.
