A Mosquito in the Ear

Directed by Nicola Rinciari
United States, India
2026
90 mins

Andrew and Daniela travel to Goa, India, to meet their newly adopted 4-year-old daughter, Sarvari, and bring her back to the states. But their world begins to crumble when the little girl refuses to leave the orphanage she calls home behind. The couple’s attempts to welcome Sarvari into her new family and travel back to the U.S. with her prove to be a chaotic challenge that tests their patience and profoundly reshapes their ideas of family, parenthood, and their relationship as a couple.

An adaptation of the Italian graphic novel Una Zanzara nell’Orecchio, A Mosquito in the Ear is an emotional family drama about forging connections across cultures.
