During the summer of 1981, a group of friends in New York are completely unprepared for the onslaught of AIDS.

As death takes its toll, the lives of these friends are forever redefined by an unconditional display of love, hope and courage.

The director bets on details: a gesture, a glance, a pause. In a good drama this is what says the most — and that principle is upheld here.
Worth watching if you're in the mood for serious cinema. Not background viewing — it demands attention.
For viewers who can watch slow cinema and value the human element in stories.
