He aims to move away from technical prescriptions, trying to find the world of feelings and mental changes of the main character. Try, moreover, to get to know the 'positive' development that the infected people from the introduction of combination therapies have had and go away from the stereotype of the terminally ill, associated with harder times of Aids.
