"You won't leave me, will you?" Nick asks Brandon shortly after revealing to him the results of his last blood test for HIV. "I don't want to die alone." In spite of Brandon's protestations, the two s...( read more  read more... )oon find the love they had shared for many years in ruins. One year after their breakup, Nick is confronted with a ravaged immune system and a CT Scan and lab values which, along with his worsening forgetfulness, clenches the diagnosis of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) -- a condition he has seen claim his friends and one which he vows will not take him. Due to the aggressive nature of the disease, he has only a few days of conscious life remaining. His plan, he announces to family and "extended family," is to voluntarily end his life himself before the disease renders him unrecognizable to those he loves and he, in turn, is unable to recognize them. Uninvited to the farewell party, Brandon's presence is greeted with jeers from those who see him as having abandoned Nick is his time of greatest need.

    Incredibly depressing, touching

    Esse eh daqueles filmes "senta e chora"! Muito bonito, fala sobre um bem-sucedido arquiteto gay em seus ultimos momentos na batalha contra a AIDS. Sendo diagnosticado com LMP (Leucoencefalofagia multifocal progressiva) ele resolve dar uma última festa de despedida para os amigos ...( read more)e família. Dramas se desenrolam e relações mal-terminadas vêm a tona, tornando essa festa um doloroso porém necessário processo de redenção.

    Aviso logo: Altamente depressivo!
