Short of Breath
1

1990

United States

10 min

Color, Black & White

A woman is reduced to tears. She bends over backwards trying to be a good wife and mother. Her head is cut off from her heart. A doctor picks her brain. A boy inherits his mother’s depression. Short of Breath is a haunting, emotional collage about birth, death, sex and suicide. It’s like a punch in the stomach.
