Vakuum (2019)

In the midst of orchestrating her 35th wedding anniversary, Meredith, a 60-year-old woman who regards herself joyfully wedded, is blindsided by an unexpected diagnosis: she's HIV-positive. The revelation shatters her seemingly idyllic life, leading her to a disturbing truth - her loving husband André is the only possible carrier. As her world crumbles, Meredith uncovers André's betrayal—his unfaithful liaisons with prostitutes. In a whirlwind of emotions, she confronts him, expelling him from their shared sanctuary. However, Meredith, whose existence has always orbited around her family, struggles with the solitude that her decision ushers in. After a heated confrontation, she reluctantly allows André to return, who, by this point, is aware of his own HIV-positive status. Despite the scandalous revelations and the shadow of illness looming over them, they resolve to face the crisis together. Yet, as the milestone anniversary draws nearer, the foundation of their marriage seems increasingly fragile. The profound bond they once enjoyed only sporadically surfaces, a ghost of their past love. Meredith, courageous, furious, yet hopeful, understands that their future hinges on her ability to forgive André unconditionally. But she is left grappling with a haunting question: how much damage can love truly endure? As the plot unfolds, the viewer is left on the precipice of anticipation, drawn into the emotional rollercoaster of a marriage on the brink.
