LOVE IN THE TIME OF SICKNESS

At a boisterous and urbane dinner party, Khalo Matabane recounts to his friends an apparently innocent story about how he met a beautiful woman, chatted her up and started going out with her on dates. When the woman discloses her HIV status, Khalo does not see her again. The story is intercut with Khalo’s examination of his own sexual history, brought up in a household of women. This film is an honest account of how the already complex nature of relating takes on new meaning in a time of sickness.
