*****QUEER THURSDAYS*****
An unknown killer is claiming young Stockholm men in their prime in 1989. Swedish drama Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves opens with a young, curly-headed man, Rasmus (Adam Pålsson), writhing in agony on a hospital bed, his skin blistered and sore. He's attended by two doctors in full medical gown and facemasks, plus plastic shield guards. One takes off her gloves, reaches out and wipes away Rasmus’s tear, only to be chastised by her senior. Gloves are to be worn at all times.
A narrator announces, “It’s like a war fought in peacetime, in a city where most people went on as if nothing happened”. Sadly the terror unleashed in this lauded three-part miniseries is the early and rapid assault of a yet-to-be fully identified HIV/AIDS crisis.
In 1982, carefree student Rasmus arrives in Stockholm from rural Värmland having hidden his homosexuality all his life. Determined to make up for lost time he throws himself headlong into the gay scene and is taken under the wing of Paul. Soon he will meet Benjamin, a Jehovah's Witness struggling with his faith and sexual identity.
