Unlike the usually predicted movies, the Still Breathing MNet show took a turn by giving viewers real-life thrills. As portrayed in the show, when people grow and mix together, the reality of life and responsibility becomes very pronounced. What is the movie still breathing about? The show is about eight friends who share good memories of the past. However, life took a different turn as they struggle amid their various achievements.
Still Breathing trailer and what we know
The various episodes of this movie clearly explain how people face different challenges while meeting family needs and societal pressure. As a couple, there is the joy of procreation, and the absence of it brings sorrow. As a businessman or woman, a high return from investment brings much joy. However, what happens if things go the other way?
Also, sorrow for specific medical ailments is not left out. The drama series shows that everyone undergoes one challenge or another.
As things begin to intensify, relationships grow cold, and several fetish acts begin to creep in. So it was for Trent. His family and friends are still coming to terms with his demise, and his widow, Abi, is unaware of the secret in his closet.

Trent has gone beneath the earth, yet his bad acts and secrets still hurt those living. Johnny Barbuzano did a fantastic job as the show's director to relate pressing issues to viewers. At the same time, the Still Breathing series cast perfectly fits into their respective roles.

Abi is a brilliant woman. She got married to Trent. Sorrow and anger came into her life when she was unable to conceive, so she distanced herself from friends with children. More sorrow came as she was confronted with certain realities after the death of her husband.
The actress's real name is Kate Liquorish. She acted first in a biographical movie in 2017 and played the role of Ruth. Her personality perfectly synchronises with every role she performed in both Still Breathing and other movies.

He is an accomplished man in every sense of the world. Many people envy him as he seems to have the perfect life without lacking money and security.
