How to Stay Alive

The series unfolds in a subtly unsettling world where routine and conformity are paramount. A young woman, burdened by quiet dissatisfaction with her prescribed existence, begins to notice anomalies within her carefully constructed reality. These disruptions draw her into a hidden undercurrent of societal control, where individuals struggle against the pressure to maintain a placid facade.

Her journey is marked by encounters with others who share a similar awareness – those grappling with the implications of a world built on suppressed emotions and manufactured contentment. The narrative explores themes of identity, free will, and the psychological toll of living in a system that prioritizes stability above all else. The animation style emphasizes a realistic portrayal of urban environments, fostering a sense of pervasive unease and quiet desperation beneath the surface normalcy. It’s an introspective exploration of belonging and the search for authenticity.
