A few days before moving to Spain, Ryan learns that he might be HIV positive. This situation will force him to deal with his boyfriend and his worse fear: loneliness. “Portrait of a couple” talks about the lack of trust between two lovers in a difficult moment. The dilemma is approached through the fear we all share of being sick and dying alone. The movie addresses the topic of a gay couple learning about their HIV status, from a particularly different perspective, not in a condescending or victimizing way, but allowing human nature to surface with all its flaws and imperfections.
