In this poignant gay cinema classic, the first film to address the AIDS pandemic, a New York City gay man in a monogamous relationship becomes a "buddy" or volunteer bedside companion to another gay man dying of AIDS. The last film directed by 70s and 80s gay film pioneer Arthur J. Bressan, Jr., who himself died of complications from AIDS just two years after the film was released in 1985.—TrivWhiz

This is a drama about a person with AIDS. It is the first American film to dramatize the subject. The story is about friendship and love, but it also presents the facts about AIDS known at that time.
