What is it like to be HIV-positive in Russia? The authors of the film spent several days with the HIV-infected characters Alexandra and Olesem and made a film about how they live. This is a kind of chronicle - the characters in the frame live their lives. Moments of sadness, moments of joy. They live as they know how and as they really live.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Svetlana Fedorova's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Nothing to Be Afraid Of is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
