In this poignant exploration of memory and the fear of change, I Forgot to Breathe delves into the lives of Greg and Patrick—two restless men navigating their coming-of-age journey over the span of twenty years.
Reunited after the death of Greg’s elusive mother, their emotional landscape unfolds as Greg reflects on his deep affection for Patrick, unearthing the complex feelings they grappled with during a time that was both transformative and tumultuous.
Patrick has always struggled to express his love for Greg, whose family stepped in as surrogate guardians, while Greg yearns to embrace a new stage of maturity. As their stories intertwine, the tension between desire and fear takes centre stage, offering a rich and sensitive portrayal of queer identity.
A duet that is as much about emotional connection as it is about the challenges of intimacy. Examining the intricacies of love, loss, and self-discovery, it reminds us of the powerful impact of memories and the courage required to embrace change.
