Part One: Love (2012)

"Love can be fragile. Love can redeem. Love can be fleeting. For these six men, love has been a torrid and sometimes beautiful journey, convoluted by being gay and HIV positive. Love can be complicated."



SYNOPSIS: Freddy, Ian, David, Tim, Garth and Jose. Six gay men with very different experiences of love, lost and found. To make matters more complicated, they have all been diagnosed HIV positive. As they talk about their personal experiences with love, will their stories have a happy ending? Or have their circumstances gotten the better of them? An intimate and beautiful portrait of the very human side of HIV, and the power of hope to sustain us.
