A poetic tableau drawn from life itself.

One of the purest examples of a singular cinematic approach that entrusts meaning not to words but to the senses: “In the First Breath of Wind” comes to Istanbul and Ankara with an Othon presentation.

A masterpiece by the great Italian filmmaker Franco Piavoli, the film traces the arc of a human life — from birth to old age — in an almost wordless form, unfolding through the rhythm of nature, the cycle of seasons, and the subtle details of everyday existence.

The camera is less a narrator than a witness: the trace the wind leaves in the trees, the trembling light on the surface of water, the silence of a single breath.

In the First Breath of the Wind deliberately distances itself from classical dramatic structure; rather than constructing a story, it seeks to make us feel life itself — that fragile span between birth and death. The film transforms its audience from passive spectators into attentive observers, listening to the shared existence of nature and humankind.
