Bank manager Claudio (Thomas Trabacchi) is 35 and gay, and he's been HIV-positive for a decade. He's managing the illness, but his strict regimen of medicine has turned him almost robotic. His relationship with partner Dario (Davide Bechini) has also grown stale. When Claudio reunites with the mysterious Andrea (Riccardo Salerno), an old flame, the dullness of routine is suddenly broken. But soon, Andrea's romantic view of life tempts Claudio to engage in dangerous unprotected sex again.

The Advocate

First-time director Muscardin shows a sure hand in dealing with touchy material, and she keeps the pace zipping along during the film’s all-too-brief 80-minute running time.

It's actually hard to warm to the stuffy, aloof Claudio, but the film evokes the claustrophobia of being in thrall to daily medication, and makes some moving observations while remaining refreshing non-judgmental.

Planet S Magazine

Loose ends are tied up way too neatly at the end, but Muscardin's direction, especially where she chooses to shoot some things out of focus, shows great promise.

It's up to you to decide whether two consenting adults with two different HIV statuses who knowingly have unprotected sex are idiots? Monsters? Or just free spirits?

With a protagonist who comes across as rather self-destructive, the audience is left to root for, what?, love to conquer all?

Definitely expected more out of this Italian film. However, most of the film I just kept wondering "where is this gooingggg???" Had a few good things within it, but overall it didn't have much of an impact. Sadly blah.

WEIRD MOVIE... is all I can think of after watching this. The acting leaves a lot to be desired, and although the plot is interesting, the characters are not fully developed so we don't really get to feel the way they're feeling or at least what they are supposed to make us feel. I found it extremely slow at times and sometimes the behaviour of the characters just didn't make any sense at all. I can't say I would recommend this movie unless you don't have anything else to watch.

6.5/10. Heavy going but very well acted, sensitively directed and nicely filmed. Well written, but a bit talky at times. Not too long, well paced.
