Focus: The Early Years of AIDS

  • Saturday, August 9
  • Tickets: $20 (fundraiser for the 13th Annual North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival)

The Carolina Theatre is pleased to present this special screening of the French television miniseries, What Love Means.

Spanning 20 years over the course of two extended parts, the series follows the lives, loves, and tragedies of an extended family beginning in the early 1980s. Siblings Nicholas and Isabelle are both in love with Bruno, but his heart belongs to Isabelle. As this triangle plays out against the beginnings of the AIDS epidemic, none will survive unscathed, drawing in other family members and friends as they confront homophobia, illness, parenthood, and new relationships over the years. Immediately addictive from the first scene, and featuring brilliant acting and believable characters, What Love Means is an intelligent, heartfelt, and romantic drama that is not to be missed.

Ticket price includes a wine and cheese reception (during a 30-40min intermission) as well as admission to an exclusive silent auction, benefiting the 13th Annual North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
