It was one of the darkest dramatic comedies I've seen, I think in my life... It's full black humor, especially at the end. I don't know what the "purpose" of this "special" was... Perhaps to show that people with HIV can be as manipulative as "anyone else", based on a disease or serological condition. It is horrible to see how Martín (D. Hendler) treats with total selfishness and manipulates with his "vertigo" his boyfriend Franco (who is already fed up with all that, and who, as we see later, comes from a father, also selfish and with serious psychological problems, apparently rampant and untreated bipolarity). And the media/television ending where all human suffering is capitalized in rating points and rewarded with "tourist trips", leaves a feeling of shouting and saying: Stop, everyone from using your own and others' misfortune for your own benefit (self) destructive . Stop, look inside and try to soften all that, change as much as possible and be more empathic with other people. Ok... as an original dramatic comedy, yes, it is, which seemed a bit extreme to me, to have used a twisted story like this, to raise awareness about the use of condoms, to get tested as often as possible, which is free , and if you are positive, calm down, that no one dies of HIV anymore, if you take the simple and very effective medications that are available (also free, in Argentina) and from this, most of the time the virus is becomes "undetectable" and "non-transmissible" to other people and this condition should not be a reason for stigmatization or "exclusive treatment" or out of the ordinary.... This, which should be, it seems to me, the messages of this type of specials, WERE NOT, present in its entirety and clearly.
