Zero Patience (1993)

A 170-year-old Victorian sexologist and explorer is producing a sensational museum display about Patient Zero, the French-Canadian flight attendant accused of bringing Aids to North America.

There's only one hitch: the ghost of Patient Zero is back in town and he's determined to stop the misrepresentation in the display. Antagonistic and yet attracted to one other, they encounter the Aids pariahs, the ACT UP media committee, a chain-smoking African Green monkey and the tiara-wearing Miss HIV. Together, they sing, swim and sashay their way through the mass media's hysterical, headlines, fighting back and refusing the blame.
