About the film

David, a naive graduate student, has volunteered to work as a "buddy" for people dying of AIDS. Assigned to the intensely political Robert, a lifelong activist whose friends and family have abandoned him following his diagnosis, the two men, each with notably different world views, soon discover common bonds, as David's inner activist awakens and Robert's need for emotional release is fulfilled.

What people are saying

Offers a moving reminder of a time that seems both immensely far away and like yesterday.
