\u201cAs intended The Patience Stone is a mighty provocation: a scream of rage against a repressive religious patriarchy and a film to singe a mullah\u2019s scalp.\u201d The Boston Globe<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In war-torn Afghanistan a woman releases her anguish by confessing her frustrations, desires and secrets to her much older husband, a wounded and unconscious mujahid. He becomes the legendary \u2018patience stone\u2019 which absorbs the misery of those who confide in it and then shatters.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cA beautiful and haunting Afghan film about love, devotion, and a woman\u2019s duty, a remarkable feminist story from the unlikeliest place on the planet.\u201d FlickFilosopher<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
