To breathe means to live and whatever problems arise in the life of each person we keep living as long as we breathe. It is the story of the decision making and the growing up of a teenager who has to take care of his paralyzed grandfather, whose state becomes worse and worse day by day. A boy dreams to escape from the everyday routine and to go away from the problems in order to meet his dream of becoming a pilot, but the sense of accomplishement and love to his Grandfather don't allow him to leave the dying old man alone. They live their everyday life, until  the neighbor boy sows the seeeds of discord in his soul, “what if  just to get rid of the old man?”

From this very moment everything that was so routine before now only irritates and causes the reluctance to return home. And it's very easy to stop all his sufferings, you need just to leave him home alone for a few days or give him less food or just put a pillow over his face and nobody knows nothing. 

But will the love raised by his grandfather in him allow a teenager to commit a crime?
