The Patience Stone

A young Afghan woman whose soldier husband has been rendered comatose by a gunshot wound sees an opportunity to unburden herself of her troubled soul's secrets─by conversing with him as if he were the living embodiment of a "patience stone." As the chaos of jihad reigns outside the shelter she takes with him inside a relative's home, she finds the courage to give voice to the struggles of her life and their love.
