Brussels, Belgium. A hospital in the inner city. Three people infected with HIV in the same ward.
In this precarious and isolated existence the ill are involved in a fight with their own mind and body.
The filmmaker is a privileged witness of an utterly personal event, but consciously avoids the customary human interest approach. Paesschen reports on his encounter with the radical
Other. Human confrontation turns into cinematographic confrontation: he doesn’t allow himself, nor the viewer, any release.
