Charlie è una ragazza di 17 anni. L'età degli amici, delle emozioni, delle convinzioni e delle passioni. Poi arriva Sarah. È nuova, bella, impertinente e subito una star a scuola, alle feste, con i ragazzi e le ragazze. Sarah sceglie Charlie, ma Sarah è anche una che brucia in fretta e per Charlie sarà fatale.

Breathe

Charlie, caught in the whirlwind of her 17 years. A whirlwind of friends, emotions, convictions... Passions too. A teenager almost like any other, no longer a child, far from an adult. Talented and pretty, yet prey to doubts and disappointments. To solitude. Then Sarah comes along. The new girl. Beautiful, brazen. A real personality. An instant star. In class, at parties, with girls and guys. Even for parents, she is a breath of fresh air... Sarah chooses Charlie. And Charlie gets into it. Charlie laughs. Charlie is full of life. Intensely. Irreparably. Sarah quickly has her fill. She is the type to throw away her cold, damaged leftovers... and pick herself another friend, another victim. Charlie feels lost. It's only normal. Charlie is wounded. And it will be fatal.

"An impressive second film!"

The Hollywood Reporter

"Melanie Laurent offers a compelling, superbly acted portrait of an adolescent friendship perched on the brink of obsession."

Variety

"BREATHE offers ample evidence of the growing confidence and skill of Melanie Laurent as a director."
