"Eyes Wide Shot"

In a condemned building in the center of the Ukrainian harbor town Odessa homeless juveniles are injecting so-called “Boltushkas” - a cheap drug which slowly paralyzes the central nervous system. Both Dmitryi and Sergey - who injects the drug to his friend - have been infected with the HI virus by needle-sharing. Ukraine suffers from one of the worst AIDS epidemics in the world, and has reached the highest infection rate within Europe.
