Bangladesh is home to 38 million child brides. A Sparrow In My Window takes an insight into the life of the storyteller’s grandmother during the global pandemic of Covid-19. Glimpsing upon her personal journey in the layers of memories, it discovers her aspiration of photography, one of the things that she has latched onto throughout her life, but never been encouraged in the conservative social-religious practices after her marriage at the age of thirteen. Is being locked indoors, at all a new experience for her? Could you be free yet locked in?
