A Thousand and One follows unapologetic and free-spirited Inez (Taylor), who kidnaps her six-year-old son Terry from the foster care system. Holding onto their secret and each other, mother and son set out to reclaim their sense of home, identity, and stability, in a rapidly changing New York City. The film received the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. dramatic competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. In the past, Sundance has awarded its Grand Jury Prize to the likes of Minari (2020), CODA (2021), and last year’s winner, Nanny.

The U.S. dramatic competition was judged by Writer Jeremy O. Harris, filmmaker Eliza Hittman and actor Marlee Matlin this year.
