Two best friends take a mythical odyssey in search of a cure for a life-threatening disease. On their journey they experience the healing power of the four elements: water, air, fire and earth. Candid dialogue between the friends unearths both the weakness and the strength within their friendship. The one who is HIV positive learns to accept herself in a whole new way, the other faces the fear that has kept her away from her friend in need. With sensuality and depth that reminds the viewer of Jane Campion's early work, this uplifting film suggests that ultimately "the cure" lies within each one of us.
