A Mosquito in the Ear

Title: A Mosquito in the Ear
Genre: drama
Main Characters: 

Jake LACY
Nazanin BONIADI
Director/Co-Writer Nicola RINCIARI

The Plot: A young couple adopts an orphan realizing its difficulties. Yet, to the child the parents conversations was simply like a mosquito in the ear. The child escapes for a short bit until they find each other again.

The main story lines are: Raising a child has its ups and downs, especially in the beginning. Yet, art becomes the child's creative outlet setting a bond for the illustrator and art teacher as parents.

The best (worst) bit is about: bringing a child into your life as the best, while realizing how difficult it can be for an inexperienced couple as the worst. Parenting has its moments at worst, but by connecting together the family can flourish at best.

I enjoyed (I didn't enjoy) watching this film because: it shows how difficult it is to parent, especially when language is a barrier.

I would (I wouldn't) recommend this film to someone because: The acting is fairly good along with the directing. There are a lot of awkward moments, but that takes writing, directing and acting to make you feel all these emotions. If you are a new parent, adopting a child, and/or enjoy learning another language you will enjoy this film.
