Drawing on the words used by US actor and author Cookie Mueller (1949-89) as she and her lover, the cartonnist Vito Scarpati, died of HIV-related ilnesses, British filmmaker and writer Juliet Jacques presents a powerfully poetic reflection on the social and political impact of the AIDS crisis, talking both about physical embodiment and the immaterial afterlife. Talking about the multiple and overlapping sources of her visual and audio collage, Jacques explains that "the film takes its imagery from Derek Jarman's Blue, video games that promise ways to replay life, and archive footage and photographs that chart a queer culture irrevocably changed by the AIDS epidemic, and conservative politicians who sought to capitalise on it."
