A personal documentary about living close to illness. It traces the relationship of the artist to thalassemia in his sister Nan, and AIDS in his partner Tim. At the core of the piece are two trips. The first is in 1962 when Richard went with Nan from Trinidad to England to see a famous hematologist interested in her unusual case. The second is in 1977 when Richard and Tim made a counterculture pilgrimage from Europe to Asia. The relationship with Tim blossomed, but Nan died before their return.
