Set in the 1980s in the United States, this film focuses on the struggle of a group of doctors, activists, and scientists who seek to unravel the mysteries of HIV/AIDS during a time of fear and misinformation. The protagonist, a charismatic epidemiologist, becomes the catalyst for a monumental effort to understand and contain a virus that is wreaking havoc in the gay community of San Francisco.
As he investigates, he faces resistance not only from the public health system but also from those who downplay the crisis due to prejudices and social stigmas. With each new discovery, from seeking information about the virus to traveling to the heart of the affected community, the characters reveal their own personal struggles and the sorrow that accompanies a world that refuses to see the truth. The film highlights the history of institutional indifference and the devastating impact this has on the lives of hundreds of thousands.
The torrent of emotions and the urgency of the situation are reflected in the tireless work of the team, who join forces to educate, raise awareness, and save lives. With a narrative that combines human drama and a strong social message, this work is a testament to perseverance in the face of adversity, the fight for dignity, and the power of community in times of crisis.
