synopsis
Wendal, a jazz musician who has never managed to make it big, has just been diagnosed with having the AIDS virus. Wendal's denial and confusion are painfully obvious as he tries to hide the truth about his health from his fiancee and his male lover. He returns home to his mother and father, and his mother rejects him, while his father may be able to accept and care for him.
