A Sky Full of Stars

Ένας ουρανός γεμάτος αστέρια

Eleven short stories by a young man who is an AIDS carrier. Nine poetic portrayals of himself and his environment. Each story is a unique, self-contained glimpse: The dialogue with his doctor, a former lover, the birthday party, the lonely nights, the conversation with his mother. A film that observes the course taken by this man through his illness.
