Set 15 minutes aside and watch the short film in full.

John Connors proves how he’s arguably Ireland’s most compelling screen presence in the new short film Breathe, directed by James Doherty.

Breathe tells the story of Patrick, the patriarch of a family of travellers, left to face a difficult situation when he struggles to accept his son for who he is.

Connors, star of Love/Hate, King of the Travellers and the brilliant Cardboard Gangsters, gives an explosive yet vulnerable at the heart of this brilliant short film which explores attitudes towards LGBT issues within the Travelling Community.

Breathe made its TV debut on RTÉ earlier this week and has been chosen as a Vimeo Staff Pick.
