Made by artist, sculptor and art restorer Ana Elizabet, “Are you breathing?” (“Dišeš?”) was a public space intervention placed in 2011–2012 on a building wall along one of the more frequent streets in downtown of Zagreb, Croatia. The film explores building tenants’ and passengers’ reactions, and contextualizes this piece within the tradition of Yugoslavian and Croatian light art in the 1960s and ‘70s, as well as contemporary international trends in conceptual art.

What makes a person different, and who is considered normal? Based on a true story, The Unbreakable Boy follows the life of Austin LeRette, a young boy with autism and osteogenesis imperfecta, as he navigates daily life with optimism and resilience.

The storyline may have been much simpler than "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf," but all the more insightful, and much more animalistic at its core.
