Isolated during COVID, Xavier films the hypnotic flights of starlings, which awaken memories of his HIV diagnosis and a longing for connection. Through voice messages with his lover in Brazil, early AIDS activism in New York, and Afro-Brazilian Candomblé rituals, the film becomes a meditation on grief, survival, and collective resilience.
