Synopsis:

This drug-fuelled rock `n roll joyride follows two New York City slackers on a surreal, life-altering road trip. Heroin addict artist Gus (Benedict Samuel) has hit bottom--he even botches his own suicide attempt. With nothing to lose, he steals a Rolls Royce in an attempt to win over his tattoo artist crush, Ruby (Krysten Ritter). The pair embarks on a wayward journey that takes them everywhere from a neo-hippie commune to the bedside of Gus' gravely ill mother as they come to terms with their feelings for one another. Asthma captures the highs and lows of being young, lost and in love.

Our filthy hero Gus mutters to himself, just before stealing a white Rolls Royce. He happens upon Ruby, a stunning tattoo artist he's always had a thing for, and waves her into the convertible. The misfits escape the city and into nature, sharing a joint, wondering why things used to be so much cooler in the '70s. Asthma is a modern romance that explores addiction in a fresh and honest way. She warns him not to fall in love with her, but the higher you are the harder you fall.

A young rock n roller picks up a stunning tattoo artist in a stolen classic.
