Isolated in rural Spain during COVID, Xavier films the mesmerizing flight of starlings while conversing with a lover in Brazil. Their beating wings weave together different times and places, echoing his experience as an HIV-positive man, the resilience of AIDS activism in 1980s New York, and the power of Candomblé as ancestral resistance. Murmurations blends memoir and archival footage into a meditation on love, trauma, and collective strength.
