Take a Deep Breath

Saša, a Belgrade University law student, tells her parents that she and her boyfriend Stefan are moving to Canada. That same night Saša and Stefan suffer a car accident. Saša wakes up in hospital and meets Stefan's charming and clever sister Lana, a photographer living in Paris. Stefan remains in hospital to recover. Saša finds out that her mother Lila is having an affair. Her father, a well-known judge, desperately tries to keep the family together. Lana becomes Saša's closest friend - a person able to prove that life is sometimes a mere game. In the midst of historical and family chaos, Saša gets involved in a love relationship with her boyfriend's sister.

Directed by Dragan Marinković, Take a Deep Breath leans on a strong ensemble — Mira Furlan, Ana Franić, Jelena Đokić — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2004.
