Just a Breath Away

Just a Breath Away (Dans la brume, 2018) is a French disaster thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Daniel Roby. After a tremor shakes Paris, a deadly mist rises from underground and kills everything at street level in seconds. The only safety is upward — rooftops and top floors.

Anna and Mathieu end up cut off from their daughter Sarah. The girl can't go outside even on normal days: a severe illness keeps her sealed inside a protective bubble. That bubble is still down in the apartment, where the mist has already crept in. Her parents have only a few hours of its backup power to cross a poisoned city and reach their child. Romain Duris and Olga Kurylenko play the leads, with Fantine Harduin as Sarah.

Roby keeps the catastrophe intimate — not a ruined metropolis but one family and a ticking clock. The pull here isn't effects work, it's parental panic once the air itself turns lethal. It lands for anyone who likes restrained European survival thrillers like The Mist, minus the monsters. Stream Just a Breath Away (2018) online on iFILM.
