Verve Pictures presents the award-winning directorial debut of Karl Markovics, star of The Counterfeiters.
Breathing is the uplifting and inspiring story of Roman Kogler (Thomas Schubert), a young man who after taking a probation job to avoid prison, makes a startling discovery that triggers him to explore his past and search for the mother who abandoned him as a child.
A compelling drama distinguished by its restrained observational direction and the emotional intensity of the performances, Breathing marks the start of a promising new career for Markovics.
