Synopsis

What happens when a single woman in a conservative country decides to raise her baby alone, without a father? While seeking answers to these questions, this autobiographical documentary explores social roles and inequality in society.

MUBI's take

Winner of the Special Jury Prize in Antalya, Expecting a Grain of Sand is a sincere, insightful summation of the director’s experience as a pregnant single mother. Combining the personal and the political in a wonderfully idiosyncratic way, Aslı Akdağ sends a video diary to her unborn child.
