Katarina, an economics student who has dropped out and is hopelessly in love, tells her story from an impossible vantage point, announcing at the start that today she will meet Davor, who will infect her with AIDS. In Ljubljana in 1998, partly from boredom, partly to take revenge on her former lover Majer and partly from fear of being alone, she begins an affair with Davor, Majer's handsome and bored colleague, who does not know he is HIV-positive. Every Thursday at six, when she and Majer used to meet, she still phones his home to talk to his wife. The virus's journey has only just begun in this tragicomic comedy of errors, told in a voice full of irony.
