In the future city of Submittan, people over 80 years old are forced into 'retirement' to a remote mountain area, as the city deals with increased population. The burden falls on the shoulder of an immigrant artist, who is tasked to design a propaganda poster to convince citizens of this new registration.

More About "Submittan":
SUBMITTAN is a story of Chase, a Japanese immigrant graphic designer and a single mother of two daughters, living in a future city called Submittan. She struggles to put food on the table, pay her rent, and find decent work. When an opportunity arises to enter a poster design competition for an ad agency, she jumps at the chance.
With her finished poster in hand, Chase goes to a job interview. However deep inside, something is brewing; she knows what this poster implies, and how bad it is for the future of certain groups. Will she be able to realize her immoral decision and choose wisely? Or will she have to sacrifice her principles for her family's survival? When the truth is revealed, she cannot escape what happens.
