- Synopsis
- Eva, a lonely and unsuccessful young writer, attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge — but survives due to a mistake made by Vitor, an intern guide to the Afterlife. Vitor, eager to prove himself and secure his future career, convinces Eva to try again in a week.
  
  As Eva prepares for her second attempt, life unexpectedly intervenes: a publishing house offers her the chance to release her manuscript. Distracted from their original plan, Eva spends the week writing, while Vitor — operating under the bureaucratic pressures of Afterlife Inc., where fully-fledged guides are evaluated by strict KPIs — struggles with internal intrigues and attempts to push Eva toward suicide again.
  Over the course of the week, a series of events and unexpected encounters leads them both to reevaluate their values.
  
  Eva finds the courage to acsept herself without publications and recognition, and Vitor questions whether meeting bureaucratic expectations is worth losing his true nature, they choose their own path in a world that weighs life by numbers instead of meaning.
  
  Promise Me to Die is a fantastical comedy-drama about death, self-worth, and identity through the eyes of a generation that fears failing even in their suicide.
