Robin Campillo's heartbreaking, powerful, inspirational, factually inspired, thought-provoking, risqué, 140-minute film that follows the tenacious, heartfelt efforts of Act Up (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) French activists (Adèle Haenel, Antoine Reinartz, Adèle Haenel, Félix Maritaud, Médhi Touré, Catherine Vinatier, et al.) in Paris during the 1990s who struggled with AIDS or an HIV-positive status while trying to educate the often apathetic public through nonviolent protests on the dangers of unprotected sex and the use of dirty needles and to pressure pharmaceutical companies to release results of new promising drugs to treat AIDS in a more timely manner that may have the potential to save many more lives, and in the mist of the heated debates and protests, two gay activists (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart and Arnaud Valois) fall in love and then must deal with AIDS when one of them falls ill.
