The Patience Stone Afghanistan, France 2012 – 98min.
Short description
Wounded by a bullet in the neck after a stupid dispute, a war hero lies unconscious at home. Due to increasingly frequent incoming attacks from the enemy family and friends have run away, but his wife (Golshifteh Farahani, extraordinarily expressive) has stayed home to take care of him. As she does so, she keeps up a monologue of her disappointed expectations, her bruised sentiments and finally her most intimate secrets. As she speaks, she slowly frees herself from her position of suffering wife and reclaims her body. “If you wake up, will you smile at me?” she asks him. “Will you kiss me, will you make love to me as I hope you will?” The suspense and tension swells.
