Netflix’s Breathless (originally titled Respira) is a Spanish medical drama premiered on August 30, 2024. Created by Carlos Montero, known for his work on Élite, the series explores the intense and often chaotic environment of the fictional Joaquín Sorolla Hospital in Valencia, Spain.
Breathless follows Biel, a dedicated resident doctor portrayed by Manu Ríos, who has invested significant effort to excel in the challenging landscape of public healthcare. The plot escalates when a high-profile patient is admitted, coinciding with a general strike initiated by hospital staff protesting against systemic issues within the public health system.
This strike poses a moral dilemma for Biel and his colleagues, forcing them to choose between advocating for better working conditions and ensuring the health of their patients. The series captures the emotional and ethical complexities faced by medical professionals in a high-pressure environment, where the stakes are life and death.
