Syngué Sabour – Pierre de patience by Atiq Rahimi (102)

A young woman watches over her husband who is reduced to a vegetative state because of a bullet in the neck. One day, the woman decides to tell him the truth about her feelings and their relationship. She talks about her childhood, her suffering, her frustrations, her loneliness, her dreams, her desires… Ultimately, this paralyzed man unconsciously becomes Syngue Sabour, a magic stone which, according to Persian mythology, when placed in front of a person shields her from unhappiness, suffering, pains and miseries…
