A BREATH OF LIFE

Tuberculosis longs for love and leads to fateful love affairs. In 1908, a doctor suspecting he is tubercular starts up a sanatorium in Mount Pelion. The doctor falls in love with a much younger woman who comes to work as a nurse. He marries her, only to lose her 20 years later to a notable poet who steals her away. Soon after World War II, a young Jewish woman with tuberculosis is admitted to the sanatorium. There she falls in love with a Jewish youth who survived the Holocaust. They promise each other eternal love and they get ready to marry, but times are hard for both of them and fate deals them a cruel blow, as they are abruptly separated. Many years later, he re-emerges in her life.
