You'll forever mourn the loss of your loved ones - as you will outlive them all. You'll lose your sense of purpose - what's the point when you have all the time in the world? You'll see the worlds falling apart, but that might be the least of your concerns.
You're far removed from humanity. But is there all to it?
In this short animation film, we'll take you on a 1000-year journey to probe the question: What it feels like to be immortal?
We're exploring this topic in depth in this video, and we want to hear from you about your thoughts. What do you think it would be like to live forever? What would be the implications of living forever? Let us know in the comments below!

A quote from another corner of the web: "It's not immortality that most people want, but being able to choose when to die."
-
I'm just impressed that she managed to live 350 years before getting depressed.
-
A nice thought experiment but with an idealistic outcome. Realistically, she reaches age 150 and looking like 25, she gets "disappeared". She lives out the rest her existence "whatever that means" as a science experiment.
-
about 20 years ago a good friend of mine told me that he didnt want to be an immortal since you'd see everyone you cared about dying one by one.
-
if I achieve immortality, pretty sure I am gonna spend the 1st 100-200 years procrastinating
-
The story could have gone down a much darker route if her spaceship malfunctioned and she was left stranded and perpetually suffocating for 400 years in outer space.
-
I remember an article back in the 1990s about this. You don’t age. You can’t die from illness. But you can die from accidents, wars, car or plane crashes… you get the idea. The average person would live around 2000 years and the oldest would only last around 15,000 years before the odds of what could kill you would happen to you.
-
And 700 years isn't even a speck on geological timescales, let alone the timeline of the universe. True immortality, living for billions of years until the end of time itself, would be one of the worst fates imaginable.
-
The concept of immortality is so beyond human perception, that even in this story the immortal is eventually mortal.
-
I think her immortality reflect how many humans are alive. Once the last human die, her immortality was stripped away, allowing her to age.
-
8:14 That Ghost in the Shell reference … a very appropriate anime reference for this story
-
I really appreciated this video because its like a "How To"Guide for Immortality. I was struggling with grasping my own immortality until this video! Thank you!!
-
I'm impressed no one tried to kidnap her to find the secret behind her immortality. Such good people around her.
-
and then she woke up from her dream, and realized she was late to school.

These videos are seriously thought provoking and powerful. I dont think I've ever come across some videos that have changed my way of thinking as much as these videos.
-
The thing that's really different here from most other "immortal" stories is the fact that the general population seems to have simply accepted such a being in their midst.
-
This is certainly one of the best videos I've ever seen on this platform.

I want this to be a film so bad. Seeing that 9:32 in the big screen feels ethereal and comforting. Almost teared up during that part
