The story begins when the New York Times first publicly mentions the new virus "AIDS" on July 13, 1981. A group of cohabiting girlfriends and girlfriends in Manhattan have changed differently under the influence of the virus. Some people have died of the virus, while others have stood up to the disease, hoping that one day there will be drugs to cure the Black death of the century. Director Norman Rene used a more popular and dramatic way to describe the changes in the feelings and lives of these homosexuals over the past decade, but it effectively aroused the audience who did not know much about AIDS in the early 1990s to resonate with the experiences of the people in the play.
