A love story.

When Peter Friedman's friends Tom Joslin and Mark Massi died, he accepted an extraordinary inheritance: 40 hours of videotape documenting the couple's bout with AIDS. After 15 months of additional filming and editing, Friedman emerged with one of the most wrenching and candid documents on love, commitment and mortality in the age of the epidemic.
