Half a Cup of Sand and Sky
Resonating with tenderness, HALF A CUP OF SKY is a moving portrait of one woman’s search for love and belonging cast against a nuanced backdrop of political turmoil.

A chance encounter with a disarmament activist will thrust her into a life she didn’t ask for and didn’t want. Nobody wanted the tyranny that is quickly turning worse than the tyranny it replaced. But maybe Amineh has been looking at her life all wrong—Maybe the thing she is seeking is not in the past at all.
