A Mosquito in the Ear
Directed by Nicola Rinciari
A MOSQUITO IN THE EAR follows Andrew and Daniela as they travel to Goa, India to retrieve their newly adopted 4-year-old daughter, Sarvari.
However, their world begins to crumble when Sarvari refuses to leave the orphanage that she calls home behind. The couple’s attempts to safely ferry their new child from India back to the US proves to be an untenable task that is filled with chaos, intermarital conflict, and adventure around every corner.
