Действието се развива в Тбилиси. На Леван, мъж около 40-те, е поставена доста неясна диагноза след рутинен преглед. Това го вкарва в спирала от притеснения. Смелата му половинка Ирма му дава много съвети, както и докторите, приятелите му и дори непознати хора. Но всяко мнение си противоречи с предишното. А хипохондрията на Леван започва да разрушава семейството му и да пречи на работата му.

De actie vindt plaats in Tbilisi. Levan, een man van in de veertig, kreeg na een routineonderzoek een nogal vage diagnose. Dit brengt hem in een spiraal van zorgen. Zijn dappere partner Irma geeft hem veel advies, net als zijn artsen, vrienden en zelfs vreemden. Maar elke mening is in tegenspraak met de vorige. En de hypochondrie van Levan begint zijn gezin te vernietigen en zijn werk te verstoren.

Don’t Breathe is a dark comedy set in Georgia that follows the tribulations of a middle-aged man, Levan, who is suddenly led to question his existence because of a routine medical examination. It sends him into a downward spiral of paranoia and doubt as he fumbles his way through the theatre of the absurd that we call life. Using humour and a playful tone, the film examines the fragility of human nature, when our bearings get lost and our imagination takes over, highlighting our common fears, doubts, hopes and resilience.
