You cannot love without knowing pleasure.
Have sorrow without knowing happiness.
You need to know all of them to know one,
and that balance came out.
-Chinese Proverb
Sarah Michelle Gellar is "Sorrow", a fledgling pop star known to her fans as "Trista".
Forester Whitaker is "Happiness" a timid bank teller who fancies butterflies.
Kevin Bacon is "Love" a doctor desperately trying to save the woman that he loves.
Andy Garcia is "Fingers", a sadistic mobster who touches all of their lives in various ways.
And at the premiere
Who's this guy ?
Have sorrow without knowing happiness.
You need to know all of them to know one,
and that balance came out.
-Chinese Proverb
Basing a screenplay on an ancient Chinese proverb is certainly an original idea and Korean -American film maker Jieho Lee ( in his directorial debut) along with fellow screenwriter Robert DeRosa did just that with "The Air I Breathe", an independent film shot on location in Mexico City.
Brendan plays "Pleasure" a mobster's enforcer.
