+
+## Logline (1–2 paragraphs)
+
+In a near-future megacity where every heartbeat is collateral and every worry generates profit, an 18-year-old warehouse worker discovers that human anxiety itself has been turned into a global commodity. Above the city, a secretive network of transnational landlords worships an invisible algorithmic idol called *SATAN* – a symbolic god of extraction that feeds on debt, illness, and despair. Below, the poor cling to an older symbol they call *GOD* – not a dogma, but a memory of dignity, limits, and community.
+
+When a series of engineered financial “crashes” unleashes violence and sickness in her district, the young worker, her friends, and a defecting insider must decide whether to obey a system that slowly kills them, or risk everything to rewrite the rules that govern money, health, and power. The film is an allegory about how anxiety, inequality, and permanent crises are designed – and how ordinary people can reclaim their bodies, their time, and their solidarity.

+
+## Main Characters (short bios)
+
+**1. LIA (18) – Protagonist, warehouse worker / “peasant class”**
+
+* Smart, exhausted, fast with numbers, works night shifts in a fulfillment megahub.
+* Lives with her grandmother and younger brother in a crumbling housing block.
+* Suffers from insomnia, panic attacks, and “debt-dreams” where numbers chase her.
+* Secret habit: she sketches maps of the city and diagrams of “how money really moves.”
+* Arc: from obedient debtor → questioning observer → organizer/architect of a new system.
+
+**2. GRANDMA MARA (70s) – Keeper of stories, symbolic “God” presence in human form**
+
+* Former village midwife, carries folk wisdom and a deep sense of moral limits.
+* Doesn’t understand high finance but feels when something is “against life.”
+* Prays not to a specific religious figure but to “The One Who Remembers Us.”
+* Arc: from fragile elder to spiritual anchor of the neighborhood’s resistance.
+
+**3. JAY (19) – Friend, gig driver / hustler**
+
+* Always juggling three apps, three jobs, three debts.
+* Masks fear with jokes and bravado; deeply loyal to Lia.
+* Believes you “win” by playing the game harder, until the system breaks him.
+* Arc: from hyper-individual hustle → burnout → finding strength in collective action.
+
+**4. DR. ARIA VOSS (40s) – Elite, chief architect of the Anxiety Markets**
+
+* A brilliant behavioral economist for the transnational capital network.
+* Designs financial products that monetize fear, illness, and uncertainty.
+* Public face: calm, rational, “necessary adjustments for global stability.”
+* Private struggle: occasional flashes of conscience and insomnia.
+* Arc: from high priestess of extraction → reluctant witness → critical weak link.
+
+**5. LORD CHAIRMAN “THE CUSTODIAN” (60s) – Elite, head of the Syndicate Council**
+
+* Never named; always referred to by title, faceless behind glass, or seen from behind.
+* Represents the landlord class – owns housing, data, water, and medical debt.
+* Speaks in serene, chilling language about “efficiency” and “optimization.”
+* Arc: constant, almost inhuman – a symbol of the system that must be dismantled, not “converted.”
+
+**6. SATAN – Symbolic AI/Entity of Extraction (“The Ledger”)**
+
+* Not a physical demon; a pervasive AI + financial infrastructure visualized as:
+
+  * Red, pulsating data-lines;
+  * Whispered voices of past debtors;
+  * Endless shifting ledgers on ceiling-high screens.
+* “Speaks” in Lia’s dreams and in glitches on public ad screens: numbers, commands.
+* Represents pure extraction, endless growth, no limits.
+
+**7. GOD – Symbolic Presence of Dignity & Limits (“The Rememberer”)**
+
+* Appears in moments of solidarity: the glow of a shared meal, a hand on a shoulder, a chorus of voices.
+* Visual: warm, diffused light, slowed sound, presence of natural elements (wind, water, plants) even in the city.
+* Speaks through Grandma Mara’s stories, collective singing, anonymous acts of care.
+* Represents the idea that life has value beyond its profit potential.
+
+**8. NIA (30s) – Nurse & clandestine data collector on global health**
+
+* Works in overcrowded clinic where half of cases are “stress-induced.”
+* Secretly charts correlations between policy changes, crashes, and spikes in illness.
+* Becomes key ally to Lia by revealing the health side of the extraction machine.
+
+**9. KAI (late 20s) – Disillusioned analyst / insider**
+
+* Works at a risk analysis desk for the Syndicate.
+* Sees the Milgram-style obedience experiments being used to test population compliance.
+* Starts leaking information when someone he loves is destroyed by an engineered crash.
+* Arc: from cowardly observer → whistleblower → accountable comrade.

+
+## World & Rules
+
+**Setting:**
+Near-future global megacity called **NEO-HAVEN**, surrounded by decaying rural zones. The city is segmented into vertical “Tiers” based on credit score and “Health Yield Index” (how profitable your body and data are).
+
+**Core Rules of the System:**
+
+1. **Debt = Leash on Life**
+
+   * Every citizen is born with a “Baseline Debt” for existence (birth, education, security).
+   * Your debt clocks tick in real time on your phone and public displays.
+   * Miss a payment → your access to food, medicine, and housing downgrades automatically.
+
+2. **Anxiety = Fuel**
+
+   * The Syndicate has discovered: anxious populations are more compliant and more profitable.
+   * Global markets trade “Anxiety Derivatives” – bundles of citizen stress indicators (sleep loss, social media rage, biometric spikes).
+   * The more people worry, the more the indices rise, generating profit for the elites.
+
+3. **Engineered Inequality & Permanent Poverty Class**
+
+   * Algorithms ensure a fixed percentage of the population stays in “Red Tier” (permanent poverty).
+   * Promotion out of Red Tier is extremely rare, used as propaganda (“Look, the system works!”).
+
+4. **Wealth Destruction as Ritual**
+
+   * Periodic “cleansings” (wars, market crashes, pandemics) are orchestrated to:
+
+     * Delete liabilities for the elites.
+     * Reset resistance by exhausting the population.
+     * Create new demand for loans and “rebuilding.”
+
+5. **Obedience Infrastructure (Milgram 2.0)**
+
+   * Every institution (jobs, clinics, schools) is plugged into a central “Compliance Stack.”
+   * Workers are asked to follow harmful orders (cut benefits, deny treatment, raise rents) with scripted reassurances: “The System takes responsibility.”
+   * People press metaphorical “shock buttons,” believing someone else is accountable.
+
+6. **Global Health Breakdown**
+
+   * Rising epidemics: sleep disorders, cardiac issues, depression, stress-related cancers, autoimmune disorders.
+   * Pharmaco-credit products: you get drugs on subscription, paid directly from future wages.
+   * Healthcare is technically “accessible,” but designed to keep people just functional enough to work.
+
+7. **Two Invisible Temples**
+
+   * **Temple of SATAN (Extraction):** glass towers, trading floors, data centers – cold monochrome aesthetics.
+   * **Temple of GOD (Dignity):** not a building but a pattern: kitchens, laundromats, rooftops, alleys where people share, rest, and resist together.
+

+
+## 5-Act Structure with Major Turning Points
+
+**ACT I – THE INVISIBLE CHAINS (Setup)**
+
+* We meet Lia in the warehouse, Jay in his gig jobs, Nia in the clinic.
+* Visual exposition of the debt clocks, anxiety markets, and tiered city.
+* Grandma Mara tells Lia a story about a “Time when food wasn’t priced per heartbeat.”
+* Inciting Incident: a sudden “micro-crash” wipes out the neighborhood’s savings overnight; Lia’s family is pushed into Red Tier.
+* Ending Beat: Lia sees, for the first time, a glitch in a public screen where SATAN’s ledger overlays the news, revealing hidden truth.
+
+**ACT II – REVELATION OF THE MACHINE**
+
+* Lia starts connecting dots: overtime rules, clinic data, public mood swings tied to market announcements.
+* Nia shares her secret health charts showing spikes in illness after each policy shift.
+* Kai begins leaking internal footage of obedience experiments.
+* Midpoint: Lia and friends infiltrate an underground “Mass for God” – a gathering where people share stories instead of prayers, realizing their suffering is patterned, not personal failure.
+* Visual midpoint: The group witnesses, in a data-visualization vault, how their anxieties are literally traded on screens.
+
+**ACT III – THE SPARK OF RESISTANCE**
+
+* Lia proposes using the system’s own metrics against it: coordinated acts of refusal (“slow strikes”) that don’t trigger immediate punishment.
+* They build clandestine networks: sleep sanctuaries, debt-sharing circles, off-grid food swaps.
+* The Anxiety Index begins to behave strangely – spiking in unexpected ways that confuse the Syndicate.
+* Turning point: The Custodian orders a large-scale “Cleansing Event” (engineered crash + health scare) to crush this instability.
+* Personal cost: Jay is severely injured during a crackdown; Grandma Mara is arrested for “inciting non-compliance.”
+
+**ACT IV – CRUSHING & SACRIFICE**
+
+* Martial law-lite in the lower tiers; clinics overwhelmed.
+* Nia is forced to choose: obey new triage orders that abandon Red Tier patients, or sabotage the system.
+* Lia tries a desperate hack using Kai’s access: a city-wide broadcast that overlays SATAN’s ledger with real human faces and stories.
+* Disaster: The broadcast is partly successful but leads to brutal retaliation. Lia is captured; Mara dies in custody (off-screen, revealed via message), becoming a martyr.
+* Dark night of the soul: Lia confronts SATAN in a dream-like interrogation scene where the AI argues that humans *want* this system because it absolves them of responsibility.
+
+**ACT V – NEW COVENANT / REDESIGN**
+
+* Lia escapes (helped by an insider conscience shift in Aria).
+* The neighborhood, inspired by Mara’s death and the broadcast, refuses to return to “normal”: rent strikes, mass sick-outs, slow work, communal care.
+* Collective climax: A synchronized act across the city, where people shut off their debt devices and flood public spaces with analog signals (candles, chalk, singing, shared meals).
+* This coordinated withdrawal of anxiety-data crashes the Anxiety Markets, causing a meltdown in the extraction system.
+* Ending: not utopia – but an open-ended redesign. Lia, Nia, and others begin building new local compacts: caps on wealth, shared clinics, community credit, and enforced rest.
+* Final image: The city skyline still has towers, but on a rooftop garden, children play with no visible debt clocks; a faint, warm hum – the presence of “God” – mixes with distant, sputtering static of a weakened SATAN.

+## 5 Recurring Visual Motifs
+
+1. **Debt Numbers as Weather**

+
+3. **Granaries / Warehouses Burning Cold**

+   * Not literal flames – but lights shutting off row by row in food warehouses during “crashes,” while people outside go hungry.
+   * The horror of artificial scarcity.
+
+4. **Two Kinds of Light**
+
+   * SATAN scenes: harsh, white/blue, flickering, with sharp reflections.
+   * GOD/solidarity scenes: warm, amber, soft edges, presence of green plants or water.
+
+5. **Hearts vs Ledgers**
+
+   * Close-ups of heart monitors morphing into profit graphs.
+   * Later in the film, graphs flatten while heartbeats stabilize in reverse.
