Breath

Breath (, literally Breath: Long Live the Homeland) is a 2009 Turkish drama film directed by Levent Semerci. The film, which tells the story of 40 soldiers in charge of protecting a relay station near the Iraqi border in southeastern Turkey, was adapted from the short stories Tales from the Southeast and Ground Minus Zero by Hakan Evrensel and is, according to Hürriyet Daily News reviewer Emine Yıldırım, the first Turkish film that tackles, through an authentic perspective and convincing realness, the contemporary situation of the Turkish army and its long battle with the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) .

Plot

This film is about a small unit of 40 Turkish commandos in a remote two-way radio repeater station in southeastern Turkey at the first years of the 1990s, in a state of near-certain death, during the most violent times, in the conflict between the Turkish Army and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
