Everyday life in a house where death is omnipresent, but in which, in contrast to a retirement home, mainly younger people live. Bailey House is a former hotel where 44 AIDS patients live. A refuge for a fraction of people suffering from AIDS in the city of New York, where they find shelter, supervised by a competent team. Fellow sufferers, perhaps even friends in the face of a disease that is stigmatized by society and means social isolation for most of those affected. People of different social backgrounds meet here. However, the largest proportion is made up of young black formerly drug addicts. Bailey House, the last stop in their young life, is often even the first real home, in most cases also the most beautiful place where they have lived so far.
