Out of Breath

A normal day for out-of-work actor Jean-Michel turns upside down when a confrontation with a racist police officer leaves the cop dead and Jean-Michel on the run. As Jean-Michel tries to convince street photographer Audrey to flee the city with him, he finds himself at the center of a nationwide reckoning with racial injustice. Set at the height of the George Floyd protests against the surreal backdrop of the early pandemic, Out of Breath confronts the ambiguous relationship between individual responsibility and structural oppression today.
