“While I breathe, I hope”, says the Latin sentence in the title. This film, made by the well-known Croatian author Pero Kvesić who has been struggling with a severe lung disease, is the very expression of hope. Recording his everyday struggle, the picture resembles a peculiar blog filled with self-irony and witty comments about life and death. Although the world around continues to shrink, the hero and the director in one does not cease to fill it with sense.
