Breathing

Filmposter des Films „Atmen“ mit einem Jungen in Badehose, der unter Wasser im Schwimmbecken liegt, während oben mehrere Beine von Menschen seitlich am Beckenrand sichtbar sind.

19-year-old Roman Kogler has a chance to be released early from his young offenders' institution. The odds are against him, howeyer: he is an uncommunicative and solitary character without a family and doesn't seem to be fit for re-socialization. As a day-release prisoner he has a job at a funeral home. Of all things, it is this job dealing with death that shows him the path back to life.
