The movie is divided in 4 sections. The first one is about the 70s, when Italian society discovered the "sex, drugs and r'n'r" culture. Many witnesses from those years are interviewed about their own experiences as drug addicts or sex consumers: mainly the incoming "gay liberation" politics are focused. The second part is about the 80s: the new virus Hiv comes in Italy from the Usa and it becomes a tragic disease. Through the stories told by the witnesses we can get the atmosphere of fear and panic around the first victims, and also the first attempts of the medical researchers to find something to stop the infection. The third part is about the 90s. Now the witnesses speak about the new "life style" of the Hiv-positive people: they don't die anymore, but can live thanks to new medicines, and so the problems are wider and more complex, first of all problems related with the society and their acceptance
