The Patience Stone- La pierre de la patience: Afghanistan/France 2013. One of the most spectacular films I have ever seen!! Exposes the wretched existence of Afghan women in a world of extreme militia. A beautiful young wife sits vigil over her comatose really old Jihadist husband. Unable to cope with the stress of frequent assaults from weapons and soldiers, she decides to reveal her secrets to her patience stone i.e her husband. What follows is a shocking, moving and courageous tale of this nameless woman trying to survive in a society stricken by religious, political and sexual indignities. Please go and see if it's playing in cinemas near you!
