With MY POSITIVE LIFE, Mark Strombach and Salwa Amin give a voice and face to people who have been living with HIV/AIDS for decades, in the first ever film on the subject. Six men and one woman aged between 60 and 72 each tell their own stories: underlying them is the common tale of a long life with the HI-virus. In a thoughtful, astute, sometimes bawdy and amusing manner, the protagonists recall the early days of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s, their fears, and the countless changes in their lives, professions, and financial situations.

Aging frightens us. But beyond appearances, does old age merely represent the end of life? Can aging be seen as a new departure? While our bodies become weaker, growing old can bring a greater sensitivity and awaken new sensations. Revealed in simple moments, aging highlights the fragility of physical existence, but also the intensity of the present moment. All over eighty, the characters strive to adapt to their physical limitations and to accept their changing desires and expectations.

Documentary created with elderly people on their love affairs, flirts, encounters, marriages, parents, bals etc.

From the most insidious psychological pressure to the most spectacular physical attacks, domestic violence always has the same aim: the negation of the other person and even her psychological or physical destruction.

Women tell us about their experiences and men question themselves about what happens within them. Together, they describe the mechanisms that lead to this confusion between love and violence…

Even though the fault lies with the attacker, victims and aggressors are linked by mutual suffering.
