What it’s about. Five of the six heroes of the film came to Kazan from different parts of the earth to go beyond their fear and for the first time openly declare their HIV status by running a marathon in a special uniform. For Deanna, who flew in from Australia with her 70-year-old mother, talking about her diagnosis is a daily job throughout her life. She is an example for the American Sean, who prepared for the "coming out" long and carefully. Seam is sure that his parents in an Indonesian village will hardly ever know about his participation in the Open Faces team in distant Kazan. Zhandos, a young doctor from Kazakhstan, only worries about how the news will affect his mother.
