A virtual campaign carried out on Catarse, a crowdfunding website, aims to gather contributions for the production of an LGBT film that addresses a topic that is still considered taboo in society: a serodiscordant relationship – when one of the parties is HIV positive.
Created by São Paulo filmmaker, Diego Oliveira, the short film, which still has no release date, seeks financial help and support from companies that want to sponsor and support the project.
The film tells the story of Arthur and Rafael, a gay couple whose relationship is interrupted due to suspicion of betrayal. One of them discovers that he may be a carrier of the agent that causes AIDS and becomes apprehensive about this situation. Single, he begins to lead a festive life, filled with lots of sex. The other attempts a rapprochement with the help of a mutual friend of the couple.
Arthur, who was enjoying his single life, takes the serological test, but is afraid of knowing the result. In the meantime, the two meet again and attempt a romantic rapprochement.
