In a world overtaken by despair and decay, an elderly man struggles to cling to daily routines and care for his ailing wife, despite her slow transformation into something unrecognizable and dangerous. As life falls apart around him, he fights to hold on to the little hope he has left – and not be left alone in the inevitable downfall.
May You Live is a haunting and atmospheric horror-drama about the strength of love, the sorrow of losing what you hold dear, and the painful fight to find meaning in a world that has been lost.
