"Breath" is a story of risk, of learning one's limits by
challenging death. On the wild, lonely coast of Western
Australia, two thrill-seeking teenage boys fall under the spell
of a veteran big-wave surfer named Sando. Their mentor urges them
into a regiment of danger and challenge, and the boys test
themselves and each other on storm swells and over shark-haunted
reefs. The boys give no thought to what they could lose, or to
the demons that drive their mentor on into ever-greater danger.
Venturing beyond all caution-in sports, relationships, and
sex-each character approaches a point from which none of them
will return undamaged.
