Air I Breathe, The 2008

Four short fables in which characters collide with fate--and each other--comprise "The Air I Breathe," an ambitious and absorbing drama from debuting director/writer Jieho Lee. Boasting a brilliant ensemble cast, the film is inspired by a Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four key emotions--Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure, and Love--and each vignette is built around a character who embodies one of these key emotions.
