It opens with Nyame Mma, which creates a space for queer/male mourning, re-kindling the tie between a queer Ghanian migrant in the West and their biological kin.Later on we are invited to pray, accompanied by everything in our house did not seem to fit. Part cinematic ritual, part exorcism, an homage to her ancestor in Nigeria. Heart Murmurs brings us into an intimate dialogue space with Dean, a queer person in Hong Kong, who shares his story of congenital disability and HIV during the first years of the COVID pandemic, as “things leave you with scars, in the name of love”.This dialogue continues onto Congratulations, Dx!, which portrays how Dextor finally returns to his hometown after long disappearance to confront the social scars of his past and social stigma. The program concludes with I don’t want to be just a memory, the collective homage to queer persons in the Berlin nightlife scene who lost their lives to substance-related mental health situations.
