One Breath (2016)

In the throes of Greece's financial crisis, young and headstrong Elena, 27, is propelled into a life-altering journey, leaving her homeland for Frankfurt. Finding herself pregnant by her Greek boyfriend, she is caught in a desperate scramble for money, leading her to accept a job as a nanny for the seemingly perfect family of Tessa, 37, and Jan, 38. As she navigates the turbulent waters of caring for their toddler, Lotte, Elena encounters a series of struggles that test her patience and resilience. Despite these initial challenges, she grows fond of the little girl and forges a bond of friendship with Tessa. However, a careless moment shatters this delicate balance as Elena loses Lotte, fleeing in a storm of guilt and fear from her responsibility. Driven by a maternal instinct, anger, and a profound sense of loss, Tessa embarks on a relentless pursuit of Elena, all the way to the sun-drenched, crisis-ridden streets of Athens. This journey pushes her to the precipice of her humanity and sanity, as she grapples with her capacity for forgiveness. "One Breath" is a compelling tale of two vastly different women, bound by a shared breath of life and fate. It's a story of motherhood, responsibility, and the lengths one would go to in the name of love, culminating in a single breath that will decide everything. This film is an exploration of human strength, forgiveness, and the undeniable bond that connects us all.
