WHEN THE TWILIGHT IS ENDING

When the Twilight is Ending is a deeply emotional and contemplative feature film that explores the profound connections between a person and their past, family, and unfinished matters as they approach life’s twilight. Set in a small town in the 1950s, the story follows an elderly woman who, in the final days of her life, begins to revisit memories that have long slipped into oblivion—her first love, the ups and downs of marriage, fractured friendships, and unresolved family bonds.

As the dusk deepens, she gradually uncovers hidden truths within these recollections, finding the meaning she has unknowingly pursued throughout her life. Through elegant cinematography and delicate emotional expression, the film takes the audience on a journey into the inner world of regret, forgiveness, and release. As the story unfolds, viewers will experience alongside her a renewed understanding of life, time, and love.
