ABOUT THE FILM
DISCONTINUED

Volume 7 of Steps for the Future a 25 cassette series on AIDS in Southern Africa.

Joachim is a migrant laborer who is torn between his responsibilities for his junior wife in South Africa and his senior wife and family in Mozambique. When visiting his home village after a long absence, he is also torn between his understanding of the responsibilities of his HIV status and what traditional society expects of him as a man. He has to make a choice: he cannot please and protect everybody at the same time. The elders are adamant that Joaquim must do his traditional duty and give his wife more children. What will he choose?
