SCAD Presents: A Mosquito in the Ear
Andrew and Daniela travel to India to meet their newly adopted four-year-old daughter, Sarvari, and bring her back to the U.S. Their world begins to crumble, however, when Sarvari refuses to leave the orphanage that she calls home behind. The couple’s attempts to welcome their child into her new family and travel back with her prove to be a chaotic challenge that not only tests their patience but also profoundly reshapes their ideas of family, parenthood, and their relationship as a couple. A Persimmon release.
A Q&A with director and writer Nicola Rinciari (B.F.A., film and television, 2020) and producer and writer Emily Dillard (B.F.A., film and television, 2020) immediately follows the screening.
Presented in English and Hindi with English subtitles.
