In the film Breathing, the director provides a compelling insight into the human psyche. 19-year-old Roman Kogler has a chance to be released early from the young offenders' institution where he has already spent four years due to his crime of manslaughter. The odds are against him, however: he is an uncommunicative loner without a family and doesn't seem to be fit for re-socialization. The only job he can get as a day-release prisoner is as an assistant in a funeral service. Of all things, it is this particular job of dealing with death that shows him the path back to life. This is Austrian actor Karl Markovics's debut as a director and screenwriter in this breathtaking film about coming back to the right path.
