Maël pokušava da se suoči sa samoubistvom svog partnera Adama, kao i sa njihovom burnom prošlosti. Patricia, takođe jedna od Adamovih partnera, sebe stavlja u opasnost pokušavajući da izbavi Maela iz žalosti. Jedan duboki uzdah predstavlja istraživanje Maelove žalosti. Film uključuje performans, poeziju i dijalog u cilju da prenese eksploziju misli, osećanja, razmišljanja i snova. Tišina i repeticija ovde igraju jednaku ulogu. Shvatamo performans u realnom vremenu i tako možemo da iskusimo delo kao što bismo to uradili u prostoru. Film u svojoj naraciji ne ide pravolinijskom putanjom i moli publiku da ostane otvorena ka drugačijoj vrsti iskustva. Ide između tradicionalnog pripovedanja i eksperimentalnog filmskog stila.

Maël tries hard to cope with his partner Adam’s suicide as well as their troubled past together. Patricia, also one of Adam’s lovers, gets herself into danger in her attempt to help Maël in his grief. One Deep Breath is an exploration of Maels grief. The film draws on performance art, poetry and dialogue in order to transmit an explosion of thoughts, feelings, reflections and dreams . Silence & repetition equally play an important role in the work. We regard the performance art in real time and thus experience the work as we would in a performatif space. The film is not linear in its narrative and begs the audience to remain open to a different kind of experience. It rocks between traditional story telling and a more experimental film style.
