This evening we saw The Patience Stone at the Watershed. It is a moving account of a young woman released from the legacy of her sexually oppressed life by pouring out her secrets to her wounded comatose husband. He becomes her syng-e-saboor, the legendary patience stone, absorbing all her suffering before finally exploding and delivering her.
Don't be put off by the seemingly depressing description. It is in fact a very uplifting film, illustrating the triumph of a woman's spirit against incredible odds.
