Film Overview
Barely Breathing is a dark comedy about Sai, who is guilted into moving in with his Father and Step Mother after nearly dying in an embarrassing autoerotic asphyxiation (AEA) accident. In order to get his dad off his back, Sai begins “hanging” with an AEA support group filled with loveable misfits but humor can only hide so much. As Sai begins to get comfortable, the distance between him and his father grows deeper in the lingering chasm left behind by the death of Sai’s mother ten years prior.
