Plot
The ghost of "patient zero", who allegedly first brought AIDS to North America - materialises and tries to contact old friends.
Sinekatalog’s take
The ghost of the supposed patient zero returns to meet old friends in a musical-tinged fantasy about the AIDS crisis. Bold, campy and politically sharp, it is a genre-mixing curiosity that rewards those open to its audacity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
