Ripple

In the early 1980s, during the height of the AIDS epidemic, Katherine, a compassionate palliative nurse, works tirelessly to care for patients suffering from the devastating disease. Meanwhile, her only son, Daniel, leaves home for the summer to work as a camp counselor, unaware of the societal norms that will soon threaten his own happiness. When Katherine receives a distressing phone call, she rushes to the camp to find that Daniel has been caught with another male counselor, Andrew. The revelation sparks a mix of emotions within Katherine: fear of AIDS spreading within her own family and concern for her son's well-being. As she struggles to reconcile her feelings, she begins to question her own biases and prejudices. Through her interactions with Vincent, one of her HIV-positive patients, Katherine starts to see beyond the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the disease. Vincent's openness and humanity humanize him in her eyes, and she begins to form an unexpected bond with him. As she learns more about his story and struggles, Katherine's fears slowly dissipate, replaced by empathy and compassion. Meanwhile, Daniel's relationship with Andrew blossoms, and Katherine is faced with a decision; should she intervene or allow her son to experience true happiness?
