Roman Kogler is a nineteen-year old living in a juvenile detention center outside Vienna. His parole hearing is on the horizon, and with it the prospect of life outside for the first time in his adult existence. Following a series of unsuccessful job interviews, Kogler is drawn toward an ad in the paper publicizing an open position at the city morgue. A chance encounter with a deceased woman named Kogler motivates Roman to go looking for the mother he has never known.

 

Featuring a finely-attuned lead performance by newcomer Thomas Schubert, and capturing the alienation of municipal spaces with precisely framed cinematography, Breathing offers a poetic, social-realist portrait of a young man coming to terms with his past, and his future. Veteran actor Karl Markovics' directorial debut premiered at Cannes, where it won the Label Europa Cinemas Award; São Paulo, where it won the International Jury Award for Best Feature Film; Molodist, where it won the FIPRESCI Prize; Camerimage, where it won Best Directorial Debut; and Sarajevo, where it won Best Film and Best Actor. Breathing also won six Austrian Film Awards, including Best Film.
