Keep Breathing, Netflix’s new survival thriller starring Mexican actress and singer Melissa Barrera, promises to be an intriguing watch. Netflix has now released the narrative and teaser for the limited series, and fans are excited that Barrera will play the lead role. With titles like Scream, the actress is reaching new heights and her latest film is set to make even more waves.
The plot revolves around Liv, a young lady portrayed by the famous Barrera, who is the only survivor of an airplane disaster. What follows is a protracted battle between Liv and the wild, as well as her own demons, who are now back to haunt her.
Who is Melissa Barrera?
Melissa Barrera is a famous Mexican actress who started her career in the Mexican musical Romeo y Julieta in which she played Juliet. She starred in various telenovelas, but her big break as Olvid in Siempre Tuya Acapulco was her first leading role, which brought her fame. As a result, she became the face of Mexican television.
Barrera joined the film business after excelling in television. She received critical acclaim for her performance as Vanessa in the musical drama film In the Heights. She is also known for her role in Sam Carpenter’s slasher horror film Scream (2022). Melissa Barrera will return to Scream 6 in 2023. You can now see her in the upcoming Netflix film Keep Breathing.
What is Keep Breathing about?
Keep Breathing is a survival drama that differs from Lost and Yellowjackets and is more in line with films like Into the Wild. Following the story of a young lawyer Liv (Melissa Barrera) who survives a plane crash, the film focuses on the interpersonal, physical and psychological struggles that the victim must constantly go through in order to stay anchored in reality and avoid going crazy.
Netflix has given an official description of the series which reads:
“After her private jet crashes on the desolate Canadian border, Liv, the sole survivor and New York lawyer, must confront the harshness of nature as well as previous psychological traumas in order to survive.”
You can watch the trailer that was released in June here:
The video opens with an aerial shot of Liv sleeping in a private jet floating above the forest. This is followed by memories from Liv’s past, which are suddenly interrupted by the plane’s warning sirens. Liv is the only passenger to survive when the jet is forced to make an emergency landing that goes awry, crashing the plane into a lake.
The clip, which is interspersed with memories from Liv’s past and images from the present, gives just a glimpse of the physical and psychological obstacles that Liv now has to deal with on her own. She now not only has to survive the environment, but also face her traumas and her demons that occasionally surface. We have yet to find out whether Liv will withstand the tough test or give up in the face of such a huge obstacle. Netflix’s must-see thriller courtesy of showrunners Martin Gero and Brendan Gallo.
