Malt Films commissioned seven School of Life episodes for YouTube Originals, narrated by Alain de Botton. Each episode explores one large idea, from happiness and anxiety to identity, democracy, greed, love, and marriage. Big questions, asked in the plainest voice, which is where they get dangerous. Every segment holds a 60-second guide to its subject, styled in a dark photo-collage look. Big ideas, short runtime, and a lot of careful frames.
