The Air I Breathe is a 2007 drama film.An ancient Chinese proverb states that life consists of four emotional cornerstones: Happiness, Pleasure, Sorrow, and Love. The film consists of four plots following events in the life of four people (Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Kevin Bacon) representing these emotions, as they interact in subtle ways.

Nameless Narrative: The four main characters are known only by their Theme Naming, respectively Happiness, Pleasure, Sorrow, and Love, and these are All There in the Script. Their real names are never spoken either, though Sorrow is referred to several times by her stage name "Trista".

Hyperlink Story: The film follows four separate plots and characters that are tied together in some ways, mostly through their connection to Fingers.

Prescience Is Predictable: "Pleasure" is a mob enforcer who has the ability to see into the future. He seems to be thoroughly depressed by his ''being nothing but a witness to coming events, unable to help''.
