Breathing (2011)
Roman Kogler (19) has lived all his life in institutions. Abandoned by his mother as a young child and raised in an orphanage, he is now serving time in a juvenile detention centre having accidentally killed a boy his own age in a brawl. When threatened with life behind bars unless he finds a job and sticks to it, he finds a probation job shifting dead bodies at the municipal morgue. When Roman one day is faced with a dead woman who bears his family name, it occurs to him that this may be the mother who gave him up for adoption and he begins to explore his past.
