CGiii Comment

Beautifully filmed...but, it's all just a little too much. 

Some of the imagery is absolutely fantastic...however, if you are going to throw everything at the screen, undoubtedly some things will miss the mark entirely!

Less is more! This has too much!

The(ir) Blurb...

The dance of the starling speaks of a love story of two unknowns in an unsolvable equation. A relationship that runs through the streets of Madrid in the 80's, in which our main character far from the cultural revolution of the time, lives his love story in the most absolute secret. His boyfriend ends up disappearing without a trace and the only memory he has of him are his letters that were never sent to him. At his elderly age, he recalls those memories and reflects on his love and loss.
