In some place like Afghanistan, a woman taking care of her war-injured comatose husband begins to confess to him everything that is in her heart. In the beginning, she merely prays for his recovery, then as time wears on, she eventually begins speaking of things which she could never say otherwise. As these pour out of her, the husband takes upon the role of the "patience stone", which in Persian folklore absorbs the plight of those that confide in it. In this unique way, the film depicts the conditions faced by women in Islamic society. After her relatives go away, the young woman is left alone with her children. As time goes by, it turns out that the reason why she stays beside him is to release her sorrow. Her husband is forced to listen to everything, including her criticisms against him, and in an ironic turnaround is helpless against her. The screenplay is mostly a monologue and Atiq Rahimi, the novelist who won Le Prix Goncourt, France′s greatest literary awards, in 2008, directed him self the film. (RHEE, Soue-won)
