Buddies
“...the first dramatic movie about AIDS”
Drama
When 25 year-old gay yuppie David volunteers to be a "buddy" to an AIDS patient, the gay community center assigns him to Robert, a 32 year-old politically impassioned gay gardener abandoned by his friends and lovers. Throughout his visits to Robert's hospital room, the two men become friends.
VIBE
A quiet, deeply human story about forging connection in the face of immense loss. It feels like a hushed conversation, a shared glance, and the profound comfort found in unexpected friendship during dark times.
