How do second-generation Dutch people with a migration background see their native country? This hybrid documentary, filled with anecdotes and conversations, takes stock of the doubt whether you are allowed to feel at home in the Netherlands. Which types of microaggression do second-generation Dutch people with a migration background meet with? This short and poetical documentary illustrates, based on anecdotes, outward insecurities and unburdening conversations, how repeatedly being treated as the Other is becoming internalised. Using rotoscope animation techniques these anecdotes and conversations are brought to life. The film shows how all interviewees doubt whether they are allowed to feel at home in the Netherlands. So how do we still find the freedom to say the words: Yet only here I am home?

Ordinary life repeats itself every day. The succession of moments that we repeat over and over again is never the same, and everything changes and wavers. The moment we touch something, our consciousness can go to a place that does not exist anywhere in the past, nor in the future. In an uncertain and fluctuating world, only the feeling of the body touching something, which exists only in this present reality, can be recognized as “now”. That moment is lovely.

In a world where, after each break-up, ex-partners must exchange a chosen body part, Wish You Were Ear explores the lasting impact of relationships. People not only lose a literal piece of themselves with each split, but also carry visible reminders of every past love.
