A bizarre, little-seen, hidden gem of the Iranian cinema. Deep Breath by Parviz Shahbazi is a film that went completely separate way from the waves of the Iranian cinema of its time, and even of today.
With three young actors that appeared in the cinema for the first time with this film, this film perfectly depicts the state of the youth depression and hopelessness. During the film, we wander alongside the three young characters on a journey of nothingness.

Even though the crowds do not know much about this film, it did not hide from the consideration of the critics: it was nominated for the best foreign-language film in Academy Awards in 2003, won the international federation of film critics at the Pusan festival, and won the best screenplay award in Fajr festival.
