HIV-positive youth in 90's France struggle to hasten research on anti-retrovirus medication, before they run out of time and die. While the common theme of such films is usually to see which major character is still alive by the end of the story, this one seems intentionally prolonged by slowing the pace of extended scenes, probably to make us feel the meaning of waiting as time runs out on you, day after day. But two characters talking for 10 minutes in the dark? Apparently, there's a fine line between driving your (very admirable) point home, and testing your audience's patience.
