Dr. Nagesh gives daily, free, consultations in Mumbai
(Bombay). He takes care of HIV positive patients who cannot afford
anti-HIV treatments. These men, women and children face the disease as
well as their rejection from society. Dr. Nagesh helps them take stock
of their financial, emotional and family situation. In the privacy of
his office, masks fall, revealing each person's contradictions, lies
and deep feelings.
