Linda Neil is a successful musician and performer who, in her thirties, moves back home to live with and care for her mother, Joan. She doesn't realise that her mother's illness will rapidly progress into Parkinson's disease and that this time with her will change Linda's life.

Learning How to Breathe highlights the universality of dealing with ageing and ailing parents and how the family relationships we may have taken for granted can be renewed.
