Actually, I think it's a really spectacular film, though very dark. It spans three vignettes related to the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic... One is about a blood products buyer/seller in China, the second is about a straight porn actor in Canada (Stockard Channing plays his mother), and the third is about three nuns in Africa (one of whom is Olympia Dukakis).

Be warned... It IS supremely dark.

I just can't believe that I don't recall having heard of this film. AND with Stockard Channing and Olympia Dukakis?!?!? SHEEEESH- shame on me. Will look into this film.....Supremely dark is fine by me, as long as it's well made, AND isn't just about miserable people being miserable- i.e., Breaking the Waves.
