Synopsis:
In a world where ex-partners have to swap a chosen body part after a break-up, every relationship that ends leaves a visible mark: individuals not only lose a piece of themselves; they also carry a literal fragment of their past love along with them. The protagonist in this story feels incomplete and disfigured, and yearns for their original, complete form. When they encounter someone else wearing their former ear, they are set on a path to self-acceptance. A reflection on how relationships change us, shape our identity and our self-image – whether we want them to or not.
