Max is 11 years old, he is obsessed with air pollution and decides to stop breathing or at least, he wants to
do it as little as possible, to live longer...will he do it?

Max is 11 years old, he is obsessed with air pollution and decides to stop breathing or at least, he wants to
do it as little as possible, to live longer. He confesses this to Erika, his best friend: she doesn’t seem
surprised. Instead, Max's parents are surprised, especially when they find out during one of his daily apnea
exercises. Parents take him to a psychologist who, in an attempt to help him, changes his obsession.
