From a Montréal based order, Sister Hilde, Sister Mary and Clara, a novice, have just arrived in Africa to work as nurses in a plantation's medical center. They learn that legend there has it that having sex with a virgin will transfer infection out from oneself. Because of this legend, an infant girl is raped. Clara, who also learns the main cause of the virus' spread within the plantation, does whatever she can to ensure that Hallyday, the plantation owner, flexes his economic power to right the wrongs on the plantation. Back in Montréal, a porn actor named Denys has been cheating on his mandatory monthly HIV tests, using his father's blood to pass as his own. As he believes he has been exposed to the virus, the negative results will allow him to continue working. When he is caught, his mother, Olive, learns the hard way of her son's true HIV status and his occupation, and devises a strategy for his well being. Denys also learns the consequences of his actions. And in China, pregnant Jin Ping works in the black market trade of blood. She buys the blood of the majority of adults in one village, but only of those who qualify. After her visit, those who sold their blood begin to get sick. Tong Sam, a rice farmer who was ill the day of the blood sale and thus could not give, has to figure out why all those around him are getting sick and dying, including members of his own family.

浪费这么好的题材，浪费这么好的剧本。全片流水账式的叙事除了体现出艾滋因为人性因为社会问题而肆虐的情况外，没有探究出任何有价值有深度的观点。贯穿影片的画外音旁白，除了起到帮助英语观众理解另外非英语的两个故事外，没起到该有的点睛定论作用。最后是什么意思，这就只是部宗教片吗？人间苦难多舛，圣者殉道慈悲？ PS真的要吐槽，作为一个中国人我居然听不懂中文了！除了刘玉玲，黄经汉和演那个农民的演员说的还行（毕竟中文也算人家母语了），但其他的黄种人面孔都是韩国演员，泰国演员。。。不知道开拍前剧组是怎么给他们培训中文的
刘玉玲演技真的不错，虽然汉语说的让人颤抖吧。
好评
这是我看过的最庄严震撼的艾滋题材电影，非法采血者，色情影星和圣心修女三位主角演技都极好，尤其是全程国语的刘玉玲和她的野地生产戏，摄影也远远超过了此类电影的平均水平。但由于第一和第三这两个故事都非常虐心，所以第二个原本试图增加些许乐观气氛的故事反而被衬得很突兀。 四星半。
