The second major fiction film from Thiago Da Costa, GASP focuses on the psychological state of Jim Petrarsky, a man who once dreamed of stardom in the music industry, but has since given up on the dream. When we meet him, Jim has become overweight and lonely, drifting from temp job to temp job. As he struggles to find work and pay his bills, Jim is diagnosed with sleep apnea, a condition that saps his energy and further isolates him from others. Employing experimental storytelling techniques, the film externalizes Jim's internal state by a series of dream-like sequences showing Jim, in a suit and tie, submerged underwater with seemingly no way out.
